When creating a Google Form you can add
in a range of question types. The most
common are ‘text’ which asks for a short
answer. ‘paragraph text’ which asks for a
long open answer. ‘multiple choice’ which
allows the participant to pick one answer.
‘checkboxes’ which allows them to choose
multiple answers.

Headers
These can really help transform the way you
use a Google Form, as they can be
completely self contained. You could use
Google Forms for cover work, homework and
for flipping the classroom!
Tutorial

12.
Page breaks can change the content
different participants get. For example,
the first page could ask them if they want
to complete the form in English, German,
French or Spanish. Depending on the
answer they click, the form can direct
them to a page which has content only in
that language.

Do less marking!
Flubaroo is an add on which marks Google Forms for
you! You simply make a form, fill it in yourself with
the correct answers, then when others have also filled
it in you can use Flubaroo.
Open up the results page, click ‘add ons’ and install
Flubaroo. Once you have done this, you will find new
options including ‘grade assignment’ and ‘email
grades’. Flubaroo will flag up students who are
struggling, questions many got wrong and it will give
you the class average!
