GATHER DATA WITH GOOGLE FORMS
Introduction
On this page, you'll get some ideas of how teachers use forms to quickly gather data. Check out the Resource section to dig deeper. Next, you'll see how to create your own forms, then end by exploring Google Form templates created by other educators.
Get started by taking the Pre-Assessment.

Exploration 1: Socratic Seminar
Socratic Seminars are a great way to get students practicing critical speaking and listening skills. See how teacher Paige Price uses a Socratic seminar rubric to guide students’ thinking, goal setting, and evaluation. Then take a look at the rubric that's been turned into a Google Form. Next, you'll look at the Summary of Responses from a hypothetical student. What can we determine from the data regarding what the student needs next?

Exploration 2: Classroom Climate Survey
You're half way through teaching your class and it's time to reflect on how you're doing. Who better to help you with that than your students? You give them this Classroom Climate Survey to assess your strengths and weaknesses (feel free to fill out the survey as a self-assessment). Using this hypothetical data, what strengths does this teacher have? Where can they improve?
Exploration 3: Team Process
In this day and age, students need to be able to collaborate and work in groups. This teacher has each group self-assess their group processes so they can assess their strengths and focus on areas that need improvement. Think back on the last group in which you worked and fill out the Team Process Form according to your groups’ performance. What can this hypothetical group learn from the data they collected?
Exploration 4: Activating Your Brain
Click Submit on the Activating Your Brain, then "See Previous Responses" Do you have any experts in the room? Are there misconceptions? Some time goes by and you’re getting the hang of using exit and entrance tickets. Students seem more involved knowing you are tracking their learning. The data started to get fuzzy when you used the same form over and over, but you quickly figured out how to make a template and use a fresh form each day.
