Google Forms: Import Questions

Forms now has an import questions function so you can import questions from a previous Form. This will be a huge time savings if you are re-using questions from an older Form, which happens quite often in my experience. You can find the option on the regular toolbar on the left side of your Form, second icon on the list. Once you hit the button, you will open the box to select the Form you want to import questions from to your new Form. Enjoy!

Making a Quiz with Google Forms

Google Forms in Three Slides

Google Docs in Schoology

Start the process in Google by changing the share
settings of your Doc, Form, Presentation, etc.

Not too long ago, you could access your Google Drive through Schoology and then suddenly -- you couldn't. If you are struggling with this matter, help is here! All you really need to do is change the sharing options on your Google Doc (form, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.) to anyone with the link. Now you can use the Link/Embed option in Schoology to share the link to your Google item.

Now use the Attach Link/Embed option in Schoology
to share the Google item.

Sharing Settings on a Google Form

Today one of our English teachers, Jim Burwell, stopped by the EdTech office with a great question. His problem was that everyone had permission to edit his Google Form. After some hunting around on Jim's part, he discovered the the share settings for Forms work a little differently now. Now that the spreadsheet and form are completely separate from each other, the Form settings assume that you would want people to fill it out, so you can embed or email it to people without making it public, because the public refers to who can edit the form. Let me write that again, because it is very important -- public means people can edit the form. If you don't want people to edit your form, make it private or share it to only the people you want to collaborate with. This is a large change from the way forms perviously worked, so please be careful. Now go forth and collect data!
