Google Forms in the First Days of School

Google Forms to Start the Year off Right

Who hates to fill out locker information, get email addresses, and have long lines at your open house having parents sign in (which you usually can't read anyway)?  Make your students and parents do some of the work for you.

• locker form

• have students fill out a Google Form with their Locker # and combinations.
• put the form on desktops of computers in your room the day of sign up
• put a link to the form on your team website
• link the form to a QR code
• when a student buys a new lock, they can simply fill out another form
• HERE is a template for a locker form
• open house sign in

• have parents sign in using electronic form (avoid long lines of parents waiting to enter the room)
• use a form linked to a QR code (my students love to teach parents about QR codes before open house), shortened URL, or have the form on the desktop of classroom computers
• other ideas for forms in the First Days of School
• student interest forms (great way to get to know your students)
• surveys (technology survey)
• I use a form that students fill out the first day telling me how they get home

• collect emails or other information needed
