Google will collect all of the responses for you in a spreadsheet. If your questions are prepared ahead of time, a form can be created in just a few minutes. To create a form you will need a Google account which at over five minutes, may be the longest part of this task.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Below are two forms I have created. The first is an example from I embedded in this blog post. The second is a form accessed via a link in a lesson I taught last year.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >1. Embedded Form</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> - Practice entering answers and see your responses at the bottom. Responses will also appear in a full-size spreadsheet in your GoogleDocs page.</span><br /><br /><iframe src="https://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=dG9yOFhwMTgyTUhnNW9DWEFRRVpGeHc6MQ" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" width="760" frameborder="0" height="1169">Loading...</iframe><br /><iframe src="https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0ArcsHvQF2CN5dG9yOFhwMTgyTUhnNW9DWEFRRVpGeHc&hl=en&output=html&widget=true" width="500" frameborder="0" height="300"></iframe><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >2.Form accessed as a link in a webquest:</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" ><br />Scroll half way down the webquest until you see "Form."</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" ><a href="http://web.hcpss.org/%7Eachanhatasilpa/?OpenItemURL=S0DF54B6C">Webquest lesson link</a></span>Glad Mediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09978856003347747867noreply@blogger.com0
