How Do You Use Google Forms Instructionally?

Do you use Google Forms instructionally? If so, I'd appreciate you sharing that information via this Google Form, it will only take a couple of minutes at most. Feel free to share a description of how you're using it, including any links to forms, blog posts, wikis, etc. that demonstrate how you're using it. You can also optionally include your name and email address if you don't mind being contacted by folks having additional questions. (It's possible I'll share this info out at some point beyond my staff, so keep that in mind before clicking submit on the form.)

You can, of course, also leave information in the comments to this post so that everyone can see it as well (although it would be great if you would also add them to the Google Form so I have them in one place). Thanks in advance for anything you're willing to share.

Update: Here are the results.

  1. I have used them as surveys for professional development seminars before. I have one on our library blog fr students to make book recommendations for the collection. I also saw recently where a librarian used a form to have the class evaluate really bad websites to show the class as a whole how their classmates saw websites. Cool activity too!

  4. One interesting way we have used them is to put our district parent surveys online. (I know this isn't actually instruction) There has been a huge increase in the number of parents that have responded, and the amount of time it takes to calculate this data is greatly reduced when compared to the past paper method.

  5. I use it to teach spreadsheets and forms. I give the students a pack of M&M's and then fill out a form about how many they have of each color. Then they go to the spreadsheet and to see the results of the class. Then they create a chart of the data.
    here's the google doc

    and the form

  6. also I've created all our report cards in google docs so teachers can record grades. (this is quite a bit more complicated because of issues with printing google spreadsheets)
