You can use Google Forms to create surveys and quizzes; collect research data, and plan events. Unlike other "freemium" web-based form tools, Google forms is completely free and allows for unlimited questions and responses, as well as logic branching. Once completed and shared, recipients can easily fill out and submit their responses. A Google form is automatically connected to a spreadsheet with the same title. When you send or share a form, recipients' responses will automatically be collected in that spreadsheet. Participants will: 1. Explore the features of Google Forms; 2. Discover a variety of uses for Google Forms; and 3. Create a basic Google Form. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
