Melinda Holt: So you're here for basic forms and quizzes. We will be covering a lot of things. And this is who we are. Farzana Cassim is from LAUSD. She is also an OTAN subject matter expert, and she has some Google certifications. Yay! And that's a picture of her TDLS, one of our conferences, Technology and Distance Learning Symposium.

My name's Melinda Holt. I'm at PS2 at OTAN. I'm also a COABE APSKI trainer, applied digital skills, google certified in a couple of areas, and I love Google. So if you have any Google questions, I'm probably going to be the one answering if you send an email. So we've just done intros. We're going to ask in the poll about whether or not you've created some quizzes. I'll get that up in a minute.

Our goal is that you learn the basics of forms and you're comfortable enough to play with it. Above that goal, the icing on the cake is that you actually create and use them with your students. That would be so cool. And if you do that, let us know. That's our agenda today. You have to be able to sign into your Google account. Yes, you need to have a Google account in order to create a form.

You don't have to have one to fill a form out. Anybody can fill out a Google form. But you have to have one Google account in order to create one. For those of you that are following along and you have a browser to your right or your left or up or down or wherever you put it, go to this address, and you will see something similar to what I am sharing with you now.

This is the preview of a handout. And I'm going to explain the handout in a minute. So I'm going to leave this here for another 10 count. Everybody write it down. This handout is the live version. So what I just gave you is the live version of the handout. We're going to be-- we also have a dead version of the handout which doesn't get updated.

This live version, if I see a mistake on it or if Farzana calls me and says, hey, Melinda, we need to add blah, blah, blah to the slides deck, I can do that. And you will always see the changes on the slides that we're doing here. What's really cool about it is that it's a book. It's like an e-book. So I'm going to go to the next slide. And you see all these table-- this form here of content-- not form. This area is all links. Every one of these is a link.

So I can progress through the book by just hitting my Next button or my arrow key and going to the next slide. Or I can go back if I wish using my arrow key back and forth. Or I can actually click on a link and go to Quiz Setup. It'll take me right there. And then, if I want to return to the TOC, I've got a TOC button on every slide. I will click that, and it takes me back to the TOC. So it works like a book.

So for those of you following along, if we get stuck answering questions on reordering and you want to move on, you can. Use this book to go to the next session-- section. If you already know how to create a form and you just want to know more about settings, you can listen to us in the background and then use this book to go to that spot that you want to review or that you want to learn about.

Any book. This is the live version. We will be giving you-- at the end of this presentation, I'll be giving you the quote-unquote "dead version" that's exactly the same. But in the future, if I add a Section 7, you won't see it on the dead version. You'll only see it on this live version. By the way, if you've noticed, you cannot copy and you cannot download the live version because I want the ability to update it and always have it updated instead of getting calls-- hey Melinda, could you-- I see-- could you give me that other one? No. Just come back here.

Here we go. This is just a screenshot. This is a screenshot of a form once you open it up. There are actually three ways to open up a Google form. Two of them are listed at the top of this slide. One is to go to forms.google.com. And one, if you're signed into your Google account-- and yes, you must have a Google account in order to create a form-- you could go to forms.new.

There are two types of Google accounts. One ends in at @gmail.com, and the other one may end in, like, @scoe.net or at lausd.org. Those are called G Suites accounts. So either one, you're going to be able to open up a new form. And there's another way to do it. Farzana will show you that. I'm going to stop sharing right now because she's going to take over.

Farzana Cassim: My name is Farzana Cassim, and I'm sure some of you already know me and some of you don't know me. So for this Google form, you have many ways to get in. So you can go to either forms.google.com or forms.new. When you go to forms.new, that means you're going to get a blank new form. That's what it is.

But next one I want to show you is this. When you click on the New Form, and you will just see something like this. I like to learn something new when I do not know anything about it. I don't really go ahead and click first. I like to take a look, like a Sherlock Holmes, just observe the whole scene.

So right now, just observe the screen that you have. And just like we read English from left to right, so let's start with the left. So when I click on-- sorry. When you start from the left, the first one you see top left is the little icon that is called Forms Home. That is whenever you want to get back to the home page of that form, then you come click here.

And the next one is called Untitled Form. This, just like it says on the slide, file name. It is only viewed by you, you the owner. It means, just like we give a name to a file that we create, you can just give that name. And so do not confuse this one with this Untitled Form. I'm not sure. Hold on one second. I want to get my little pointer. There you go.

So if you type something in here, that is only viewed by owner. Then, if you click on over here, this one-- or no need to click, but just follow along-- is that Add-ons. There are some little cool Add-ons that Google has if you wish to just go and explore that. And the next one is colors palette. And that one is that you can change the color of the screen-- or I mean the forum. If you don't like this light purplish color or any other color that you want to, you can go ahead and change that. Or you can even have themes. They've got plenty. So go explore that later on.

The next one is just this little eye that says Preview. Before you send out your form, you should all preview it so we can see whether we have some mistakes or spelling mistakes or wrong answers for things like that. It's always a good idea to click on that Preview before you send out to the public or your students. The next one is Settings. That Setting icon should be familiar to all of us, pretty much, because in many platforms, we use the exact same icon.

So this little area is a place where you can tweak your form, things like how-- whatever things that you want to change to, how do you want this form to be. So this is the area where you're going to come and click on to change your settings. So I call it an area to tweak your settings. So the next one is called the three dots. I heard the street language is kabob. I don't know. When I'm hungry, I see them as kabob. When I'm not hungry, I see them as three dots.

So these are the three dots. Every time you see three dots, just like on your phone, on your tablets, on your laptops, on your desktop computers, any browsers, many browsers, they all have these little three dots. Every time you see that, that's more form settings. Not only from setting. It means more options I meant. So the next one is Send button. Of course, this should be pressed after you clean up and you make sure everything is working well with that form. Then you send out to the public, just like it says here on this slide.

Invite to Fill form when you want people to go ahead and fill out that form or when you want to get links. Sometimes you might want to share just the link, or you might want to have this form embedded into your courses or your-- what do you call this-- the LMS or sometimes on your website, things like that. Then you may need Embed Code.

The next one is Responses. This area is when your audience or when your students or when your colleagues or whoever that you want the form to fill out, their responses are shown here. So you can come in here, and you can view these responses, and you can see who answered what if it is a question, which student answer, give what answer. All these things can be found here. And it's really neat. I always get excited when I get your responses.

So here we go. The next one is this area you all should be familiar with. The reason is this is the meat. This is the area where you're going to-- this is the area with the tools that you will need to build your forms. And just sit down for a minute. Just take a look at them, each one of them, and see, try to understand. A plus means to get a new question.

And then you can click on Imports if you already have some forms created and you don't want to rebuild more questions, you just want to get those questions out of the previous forms that you have. You can go get that. And then you can have titles and images. Titles means sometimes you might have sections and you might want to let the people know the next session is on essay, the next section is multiple choice only, the next section is such and such.

Since I'm assuming all of you-- or most of you are teachers, and also I am also a teacher, so I will be referencing as class or students, so in that nature, education nature. But if you work for offices, I really don't-- I'm sure pretty much you can do these things too. But this little picture all of us are familiar with, which is images. So that little icon tells you, anytime you want to bring in images to your form, you can do that.

And here is the video. We can't go wrong with this video. What if you have a YouTube video you want students to see? Or what if you have a specific video you want the students to watch first before they answer the questions? That's something that you can bring in. And then here you are. The last one on the bottom is called Sections. You don't want to give 37 questions on a form, making all the people bored to death with these questions.

Because people are like, when are you going to finish? When are you going to finish? I don't want to answer your questions any more. In that case, you might want to divide them into sections. So that way, people fill out-- oh now I have up to five questions. Now I have some time. OK, I can breathe a little bit, then go to the next section, and so on and so forth. So if you're going to have a lot of questions, you better put some sections. And it is clean, clear, and readable for other users.

Melinda Holt: Farzana?

Farzana Cassim: Oh, yes?

Melinda Holt: I'm sorry. We have quite a few questions, I'm going to say, about the add-ons button.

Farzana Cassim: Got it. OK.

Melinda Holt: Hang on, because they want to know why they don't see it. Do you know the answer?

Farzana Cassim: No.

Melinda Holt: Sure you do. Because-- and we have discussed this. She's probably forgotten, folks. The Add-on button is always on Google accounts, @gmail.com public accounts. If you don't see it, then it's probably because your network has precluded it from being added. They don't want you to add things onto the form.

So that's up to your network whether or not you can install something onto the form. It's pretty cool some of the tools that you get in Add-ons, but it might be precluded. And the screenshot that has been taken was actually from an @gmail.com account. So if your picture or if your form looks a little different, then it's because you maybe have an update that nobody else has gotten yet, or because you're on a G Suites EDU and your network person has decided, no, you don't get add-ons, so you don't even see that button.

Farzana Cassim: Great. Thanks for the answer, Melinda. Let me get back to the next arrow. This area, it's a really handy area. So please, this form is not-- it doesn't have a lot of buttons to memorize or remember anything. Very clean looking one. So you just take a look at that area. That should not change to anywhere. No matter what form that you have, those icons will still be there.

So let's go over this first. Remember these little three dots? The three dots are kabob or not. And those are-- that means you have more settings. And when we get to the live form, we're going to take a look at it. And required. For example, a lot of time, people say, what is this required? What it is is this. For example, you want to know who answered your-- or who took your test.

And if you don't want-- if you don't put this, for example, name, what is your name, if you want to know which student answer this form or this question or stuff, you need to have-- if you want to have the name, then you need to make it required. So that way, the person has to type in that first name or last name, whatever that you ask. So this is important.

There are some questions you might want to say, OK, if you do not wish to, no need to answer. Sometimes you might ask them an opinion. and There are some times you need to give them an option. They may not answer. They may not want to. In that case, just leave it alone. That means they have an option and that they will not need to answer. If they wish to, they will. If they don't, they don't.

So now, this one is-- we all know. It looks like a trash can. So that means delete things that you don't want. For example, I don't want this question anymore. I made a boo-boo, and I don't want it. Or maybe I have-- it is a repeated question. So in that case, you can just delete it. The next one is called the Copy. So this means--

For example, if you're going to ask-- if you want to split last name and the first name, so you can see it here the question will be, what is your last name? And that will be one question which is required. And then the next question, I don't want to retype, what is your first name, because sometimes I want the computer to do the job for me.

So in that case, I would just copy this because everything is all set up for me. So I'll just copy it and change from last to first. So that's when you want to-- this is just a sample one-- a simple one I'm just saying because you may see how cool this little Copy button is. The next one is question types. This is a really awesome area. This tells you what type of question are you making.

For example, if you have a multiple choice question. And of course, "what is your name" should not be a multiple choice, because you better have one name only. Even if you have a nickname, it better not be here. So you can just say, what is your name, or, what's your last name, what's your first name, because it is an answer that you want from your audience or your students.

So in that case, computer actually knows-- Google actually knows this it. It depends on your question. It changes for you. However, you can of course go and change to multiple choice or other options that we have. Of course, I'm going to show you what those are. Questions tab. If you look at this little underline over here, it means you are already in this tab, the Questions tab, the area where you are building your questions.

And whenever you want to go and see responses or things that you want to go and change here, you just have to click, and this little bar will change to this side. Question, AKA title, statement, direction. Sometimes you might want to tell your students what to do in here. So just like the slide-- the statements on here, it says, what is this? Ask your question here. Ask your quizzes or whatever quiz question that you want to us here. Just right there you type it in.

The next one is Form Name. I started with this here by telling you this is only viewed by owner. But this area, however, is for your audience, your students. So they can see that. They will know what kind of form they are filling out. For example, if it is a midterm test, then you can say midterm test. Or if it is a test number 4 or quiz number 4, you can see a quiz number 4. This tells the students or your audience what type of form that they are filling out.

Melinda Holt: While Farzana is taking a sip of water, you've all noticed, and you've been putting it in the Q&A, that you see something different than what was on the slide deck, or your Add-on button is actually in the skinny snowman, or the kabob as Farzana called it. So yes, that is true. And I'm just telling you that that's the way it is. We will all sometimes see something different.

When that happens between Gmail and Gmail, if you see something different than Farzana does, then it probably means that Google is on its way to change. So if you see the new version and Farzana is still on the old version, she'll eventually be catching up to you, or vice versa. Maybe she sees something that you don't yet, and it will be coming over soon. OK, Farzana. You ready?

Farzana Cassim: All right. So since I already showed you all these little things, there is no way we all remember what these are. So let's get to the live form. I like to, every time I want to open a form or-- I mean create a new form or a new document or a new Excel sheet or anything Google Apps related, I always like to come to Drive. The reason is I see this as a place where my tools, things that I need, are here.

And so that's why I always like to come to Drive. And just like Melinda said that you need to have a Google account. Let's take a quick look to my right side of the screen. It says G Suite. And as you can see, I am an employee of LAUSD. So I am using my district account, which is known as a club account. However, I'm not going to go over this. All I just want to do is to let you know is I'm going to go to Drive, and I want you to note that I'm using the LAUSD account.

Well, the way I like to get to a blank form is go to my Drive. I click on More. I know it is hidden. I don't know why. But one day, it will get a chance to come up over here and get its spotlight. But for now, it is hiding here. And I love its place. I know where it is. So I'm going to just go ahead and click on Google Forms. As soon as I click on it, you will see a blank form that I've been talking about the past 2, 3, 5, 10 minutes. Here we go. We have our untitled form.

Let's quickly take a look at one more round. Not that I'm going to explain all over again, but major ones I want to quickly show it to you. If you remember this one, this one is known as the Forms Home, and that's the one I was talking. And those of you who are following along on another tab, you will see this. This is the area you might want to give a file name. So I'm going to just call this one as-- I don't know. This is what came in today. So Burlington English Sign Up Form. That is the name of the file that I'm going to see.

But this, however, is the area I don't want them to see. All I want is this is-- I don't know. What season-- what are we? We are in spring. Spring 2020 BE Sign Up. So that tells me I am using this form for the spring 2020, Burlington English sign up. This is for my audience or whoever is filling out to see. Here is the form descriptions. It is up to you. It's optional. You do not need to fill out anything. If it tells you something, if you need to give some kind of instructions to the people, make sure you do this, you do that, some kind of instructions that you need to give, go ahead and type it in here.

And this is the one I was talking about last time, the little underline that you all see. This means I am under the question. I'm building my question, and this is my Questions page. If I go to Responses, here we go. Right now, of course, the form is not live yet, so there are no responses. So this is just another form I just created to show you. So I'm going to just close it because I do not need it now.

But this, however, is the one I started with you. So all of these, we have them. I showed them to you. When you are all ready, you're going to go ahead and click Send, and you will find out what else you need to do here. And this one is the little Settings area where you can do your-- tweak a little bit here. Depends on where you-- what organization or district you are in. And it will be different.

But before that, I'm going to click on it. So Melinda mentioned-- explained it to you about the add-ons. It looks like our district allows us to have add-ons. And so that's something you might want to check with your district, if you open it, whether you have it or not. And this is the colors that you can choose or the theme that you can choose.

Let's see. Right now, it's purple. So what if I change it to orange? There it is. I am in a bright mood today. If it were raining, I'm going to go with this color. No, no. It is up to you, whatever mood that you have or whatever is appropriate for you. So those of you who are interested in having an-- what you call it-- header, so you just go ahead and click on things like that. So these are a few things that you might want to explore on your own.

So this area, as I mentioned it before, these little buttons are your tools, things that you will need to build this form. Why don't we start creating a form? Actually, I started creating a form. Why don't we start adding a question? So if you want to add a question, all you have to do is simply click on it. It already highlighted for you. And just go ahead and ask your question.

What is your last name, question mark. Did you notice? This one automatically changed to short answer. But of course, you do not want to change to anything else because it is a question you are asking. You want someone to answer that. So leave it alone as it is. What if it were something else? What is your favorite color? But you want them to choose only from the ones that you want them to answer-- for example, orange. You see, I changed into multiple choice because I'm going to give them several choices. Pink. So that's what it is by multiple choice.

Let's take a look at the checkboxes. Whenever you have a checkbox, sometimes checkbox-- most of the time, checkboxes mean you can select more than one answer. So sometimes there are some surveys that I'm sure you all have filled out, and when they ask you to do something, and they will say in a parentheses, select more than one or select all that applies, whatever it is that you can do with that.

So dropdown is something that you might want people to choose from because you have to build a few things. For some reason, I thought, Melinda-- I don't remember seeing that. Anyway. Maybe I didn't pay attention to this one. But that's something that I just--

Melinda Holt: It will show up on preview.

Farzana Cassim: I see. OK. So if you have-- sometimes, you might want your students to answer setting, like long paragraph or some kind of opinions you need to give you. In that case, change it to paragraph. Depend on your question that you ask over here, you need to come and change. So I'm going to go back to my short answer because I'm going to change this because I want to start with, What is your last name?

Because I want to go-- I went to sort. After I receive all my responses, I may want to sort by last name. So that's why I'm going to split. Like I said, I want the computer to do the job for me, so I'm going to duplicate. But before I click Duplicate, I want to make this question as a required. So that means whoever answers it, they must answer that. And so I'm going to go ahead and click Duplicate.

And this time, I'm going to change last name to first name. That's the idea of having these little duplicates, so whatever that you have, you can just have it. Sometimes you may even-- let's create another one so you will know what I'm talking about. Let's add a third question. Here is a third question. In this question, I'm going to ask, have you had your breakfast? Oh, I love these sessions. Yes, it automatically fills it for me.

And I go here. No. What if I went to say maybe? What if I have another option, other? So yes, no, maybe, other. But that means I have four answers that I need to fill out. I'm not going to-- the next question that I'm going to ask, I'm going to have the exact same answer, but the question will be the same. I mean, sorry, the question will be different, but the answers will be the same.

In that case, I want that duplicate again. So let's go ahead and click Duplicate. Watch what happens. All these answers are over here. But the question is the same, so I'm going to go erase it. I don't even have to select. How cool is that? Google understands that I'm going to change it. So don't bother selecting any of those. Every time you see these little bluish colors, the words are selected for you, just leave it alone, start typing, Don't even press Delete or backspace. Just start typing. Seriously, start typing. Make the computer work for you.

What's the next question I should ask? Have you gone out at all? Something like-- I don't know. So you may have some answer over here, or you can go change it. That's the duplicates. And the next one I would like to do is this. What if I change my mind and I say, oh, you know what? I don't want to split "what's your last name" with a "what's your first name."

What I would like to do is this. I want to just change it to, "What is your name?" Do you see? I'm going to-- hold on. Hold on. OK. The way to-- what I'm about to do is I'm going to edit it. I don't want last name anymore. I just want, "what is your name?" So all I need to do is double-click on the word "last," and erase it. So that is a type of editing that you are doing. What is your name now?

And so you just have one question. People have to just give their full name, or they can just give a first name, they can just give a last name. So if you want to really specify, then you can say, what is your full name? So I am editing a question over here. And then I found, aha, I already asked "what's your full name," so why should I even have this "what's your first name" over here? In that case, what do you think I should do?

Of course, I need to delete this question because I have no need for it because it's redundant or almost redundant. So let's click Delete. There you go. It's gone. Goodbye. It says here, Item Deleted. If you want to undo it, go ahead and quickly click Undo. Now, I don't want to undo. I like what I ask. So here is, What's your full name? Short answer. Have you had your breakfast?

Every time I move my mouse and click in one of these-- any of these questions, you can just-- you see, it gives you-- it allows you to edit whatever you want to do with each one. What if I have-- what if I want this question to be the second question instead of third question? Let's take a look at something here. You see this little area? I don't know if you can see it. There you go. How about now?

You see this six dots area? That is that little handle area. It gives you a way to move things or move questions around. So I want to move-- you have a choice of moving the two to three or three to two. So I'm going to just go ahead and move that three by clicking and dragging it up. As you can see, I'm moving it. And here we go. I will just release my mouse. It will move to second.

"So what is your full name" was my first question, and my second question is, Have you gone out at all? The question now is, have you had your breakfast? So you can move your questions around. That is called re-ordering because you are trying to reorder questions. There may be times that you may need to. So don't be rigid with-- I have to have number two over here, number three over here. No. Just ask your questions. Go around, check them. Re-order them, re-edit, whatever you need to. Be flexible with it, and enjoy along the way.

Melinda Holt: Farzana? Some of those questions that you created, they were auto-populated with answers, like yes, no, maybe, other. What if you don't want "maybe?"

Farzana Cassim: That's right. I don't want "maybe." Let's say, in this case-- have you gone out at all? I only want them too until yes or no. There is no other maybe. So in that case, you see here it says "maybe." Let's take a look at on the right side. It says, Remove. If I move it, you can see it says Remove. X. I don't want "maybe."

I will just simply remove it. It's all gone. I don't even want "other." What if I don't even want "other?" Same deal. Just remove it. All I want is yes and no. So that is another way for you to clean up your answers. Sometimes, there are things that were given, and then you feel like, huh? What is this? What is this? You don't need it. Just simply click it. So I hope I answered that question.

Now, the next thing I want to show you is let's go and create one more question. I only have three questions, as you can see. Let's create one more question. If I click Add Question Now, it will come between my second question and third. And if I don't want it, just like I showed you a few minutes ago, just simply move it down. So if I can move it that way, just be flexible. Just go to this third question or the fourth question and move it up so you will still have the order that you want.

Here's the question. Now, this the fourth question. What if I want to have an image? I want to have an image so my students get-- or your students or your audience can see, ah, this is what it is. So sometimes, you may have words or answers for them with an image. So let's say-- I don't know. I need to have-- which one is a cat?

I'm going to add an image here. I'm going to go to Google image search. This time, I don't have a cat. Oh, how lovely these are. Hello. I will' take you with me. I click on it, and I click Insert. And here is a little cat. If it is too big for you, all you have to do is click on the picture first. There are four corners. Just resize it to the way you want. How cool is that?

Don't try to-- don't be to worried about it. Slowly go whatever size you want. As you can see, I can't smaller than that because it doesn't allow me to. So that's the only size it-- the smallest size it allows me to have. In this case, I can say this one is a cat. Or maybe I should change the question. Right now, you don't even have to have anything. Melinda, jump in any time.

And so here is a cat. And I want another image. Oh, these too cute. And I want this little one. Click Insert. There is another one. I'm going to re-size it. Look, come on, it's 9:54 AM. We are working at home. I still want to be in bed. So I'm going to bring in these little ones here too. So you can just bring in an image like this. You can have the caption, the title of this, each and every one. So that's how you can come and play with this, adding images and moving things around. And you can have all your questions and answers over here.

The next, since this is all about how to bring an image or how to add images, I want-- please, let's look at something here with me. At this time, my mouse focus is on this question. The reason I know it is-- the reason I know I'm working on this is because of this blue bar on this side. This blue bar tells me, currently, I'm working on this.

So if I click on this Add Question button, then that new question will go under here. But if I click on this one, my focus is changed to cat question here. And if I click it here, it will go between cat and dog. So if you don't feel like that-- you don't want to re-order again, in that case, just go to the question that you want, and then you click on Add Question. So the next one will be just automatically put under it. So this time, why don't we add a video?

Melinda Holt: Farzana?

Farzana Cassim: Yes?

Melinda Holt: I'm going to jump in. Let's close this.

Farzana Cassim: Okay.

Melinda Holt: On this question, it's option 1, right?

Farzana Cassim: Yes.

Melinda Holt: When you scroll your mouse towards the right, and you should see a little-- there we go. So we had the question, if you want to add pictures and allow people-- which one is the cat? Which one is the dog? You could actually add them on multiple choice or-- there we go. You can add the pictures to the side, yes.

Farzana Cassim: Google image search because this is all Google images. So it's so easy to just find it here. Here you are again-- let's go and insert you. And here it is. Cat with this picture. And now I have another one. Thank you, Melinda.

Melinda Holt: Sure.

Farzana Cassim: And right there, you see? She makes the computer work for you. I even move my mouse so far out, you see? All you have to do is over here and in that same line. The cool thing about it is that computer-- Google automatically aligns things for you. How neat is that? You don't even have to go do anything.

So just go to dog. Click on dog. What happened? Oh, there you are. And I'll click Insert again, and it will be aligned nicely. And did you notice the two different things? When I click on Image, it re-sized it for me-- automatic re-size. When I clicked on this image, I had to re-size.

Sometimes, I like making mistakes. And this is the best time for me to show you, if I went in making mistakes, you wouldn't see the difference. Did you all notice that difference? When I got my cat, it was big. I had to resize it. When I got the way Melinda showed me, it automatically re-sized for me. How cool is that? I don't have to do these things. I feel like this question is no longer needed.

So what do you think I should do? Of course, the Delete button. Let's click on it. I feel like I'm in power now. I'm deleting things now. Go for it. This one too. I don't need it. Click on it. There it goes. Now I have-- I can ask my question now. Which one is a cat? There you go. They can just select whichever one is a cat or dog.

And if you want to confuse them more, bring in a parrot. Bring in a penguin. Marjorie is here, so a penguin. I like giraffes, so I'm going to bring in a giraffe. Go for it, whatever that you are doing. Of course, don't go too crazy with all these images because it may be too confusing to others. But let's look at something. I want to show you-- I forgot.

One second, Melinda. I forgot to change this little thing. You see that? If I want to make it required, I need to make-- I need to turn this on. So all these questions that you can create. And the last thing I quickly want to show you, because there are a few things that you guys can do, but videos, just go ahead and just quickly click on Add Question. Go straight to Video.

And in this video-- in here, you have a choice of looking for a YouTube video, or if you have a specific link, you just go ahead and type it in here. So you go ahead and find any video that you want. Once you have it, it will allow you to click Select. So Melinda, so if you think-- should I continue?

Melinda Holt: Let's not do the videos.

Farzana Cassim: Let's do that correct.

Melinda Holt: Let's have them see what they've created so far.

Farzana Cassim: Yes. I don't need this one because I made a mistake because I really don't need it, so I'll just click Delete. And I want to have a clean looking one. I have one, two, three, four questions. Now I need to see how it will look. So here we go. There is a Preview button. So I will click on the Preview button. And this is how it will look like to your audience or to your students.

What's your full name? They will just type in. And have you gone out at all? Either yes or no. Have you had your breakfast? Yes, no, maybe, whatever. Which one is a cat? Here is a cat. Remember, if you go ahead and click and answer any of these questions, you will be given responses. Your responses will be recorded. Have you gone out at all? Actually, no, two weeks straight now. Have you had your breakfast? No, I was too nervous to eat. Which one is a cat? I'm going to make a mess. Click Submit.

Now let's quickly go and look at it. This one will come back. Just keep-- pay attention on this one for now. Let's go back here. Let's take a look at these responses. Because I just answered something with you just now, you see this responses? I have one response. So here we go. Farzana Cassim, one response, said no. And the other one, it says, have you had breakfast? Yes, no.

This little chart is so awesome. If you have more students, you can just go through individual one, or you can go and see which question was answered by who, all these things. So you can just click on it. They are nothing too-- there's no special skills to learn. It's just click, point, and you will get it. This is really cool. But I want Melinda to explain to you about some settings. And these are a few things that you need to do before you send out your form. So, next up, Melinda.

Melinda Holt: So I was actually referring somebody to-- we've done that. We've done that. Look at all the stuff-- we didn't add a video. We didn't do file uploads. Farzana did show you how to preview. Now, I also had a form started. It's not nearly as complete as Farzana's. Just to recap, though. So this is the title of the form. And I can name it anything I want.

I'm the owner. I get to decide. If I click where it says Untitled Form, it actually takes this name of what everyone sees. It will be up here. But if I want to add something to it-- Attendance let's say June. You see it? That's my file name. Again, this is just a quick recap. So untitled question. If I type name, look at that. Google already changed it because they know that, hey, when you type a name, it's not a multiple choice. It is something somebody is going to type.

We had a few questions that came in the chat. Don't you want to require that? And Farzana did show that. I never require any questions until after I've gone through and tested the entire form. Some of the forms that I've created have had three or four sections. And if I require the questions, then I have to answer every one.

And if I just want to check out that one question that's on the third section, I have to respond to everything. So I wait until I test. And then I'll just go ahead add a sectional real quick. So we got name. I'm trying to do this fast. Grade. There we go. So you've got attendance. And then a question might be, what grade are you in currently?

And look. I put, what grade are you in-- and I haven't even finished typing the question, but Google is going, hey, this sounds like you might want freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. I don't know if you can see that. It's pretty light. So I'm just going to add all of them, and then it's all added for me. So Google-- yes, Google knows what you're thinking. It's peering deep into your brain and going, ha-ha-ha, we know. We got you.

No, they don't. It's a suggestion. If you don't like the answers-- and Farzana also went over this-- you can delete them, or you can delete them all. You don't have to accept what they give you. You can delete them all and add your own. The preview is way up here so that you can type in-- remember, I didn't require it. So I can go to the next. And that's why I did that.

So maybe I just want to test whether or not this actually came across correctly. When I don't require things, then I can test it out a little bit. We also had a question. Hey, I'm still in preview mode. How do I get back to my form? When you select the preview, when you select that little eyeball, a new tab opens. So I'm moving my mouse over where it says Attendance. That's the name that everyone sees. That's the name that the people see when they're filling out my form, Attendance.

Right here is the file name. So that tells me that this is where I can edit my form. So the settings. When we have a form, you have settings that you can manipulate. So there's a gear, if you're following along, up at the top of your form that you've created. If you click on this little gear, you're going to get three tabs that go across. First one is general. Second one's presentation. Third one's quizzes.

Collect email addresses. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't, because it will require people to be signed into an account. So I wouldn't do this if you want it to be an open form. Now, if you want to collect email addresses, by all means, select that. And when you do, you're given the option to send response receipts or get response receipts. And they tell you what it is. Respondents receive a copy of the responses. So for those of you that were asking, can the students get a printout of what they responded, this is one way to do that.
