Google Forms

Google Forms is a tool associated with Google Drive that can be used to collect information from students, ranging from text answers, to multiple choice answers, to scale (1-10) answers, to dates and time. The data can be examined on “Summary of Responses” page or can be collected in a spreadsheet, allowing for automatic grading and feedback for some sorts of information. In addition, Google Forms allows for integration of videos, images, and varying layouts, allowing a Google Form to serve as a content-delivery tool as well as an information-gathering tool.
