Keeping track of homework with Google Forms

Keeping track of homework is one of my least favourite things. Not only does it waste time, but I keep losing the page. But we all know it must be done. If nobody ever checks if you did your work, what is the chance that you will do it? And if you waste precious teaching time to check homework, you want to keep a record of it.

Last year I decided to use Google Forms to streamline my record keeping. And I was surprised at how much better it was working. At parents evening parents are also very impressed when I can provide them with a graph showing exactly how often their precious angel did not do their homework. Here are step-by-step instructions to create your own HOMEWORK FORM.

Step 1 – Create a class list in Google Classroom

I should not have to tell you to do this. If you do not have a list in Excel/Sheets of all your classes you have a bigger problem than keeping track of homework. If you are using Google Classroom, you can download a class list with just one click. Select all the names and copy them.

Step 2 – Create a folder in Google Drive

Go to Google Drive and create a folder for your homework forms and their responses. It is essential to decide where you are going to save something before you even create it.

Step 3 – Create a form

Create a form and remember to change the name of the form. Add your first question, date. Forms should automatically change the type of question, to a date question.

Step 4 – Add a checkbox grid

• Add a new question and change it to a “checkbox grid.”
• Click on the first row and paste the names that you copied in Step 1.
• Change the first column to “DONE” and the second to “NOT DONE.”
• You can add more options, but try to keep it as simple as possible.

Step 5 – Customize the homework form

Change the pallet of the form by adding a nice picture header. If you are going to have more than one similar form, it is always nice if they are different colours.

Step 6 – Start logging your homework

You can now keep track of who completed their homework with a few simple taps. The best part is that you can do it just as easily on your phone as on your computer.

Just click on Responses to see who is doing their homework.

For more detailed results, link the form to a spreadsheet.

If are still slightly lost, don’t worry this short video clip shows you exactly how to create your homework form.

Make Your Life Easier: How to Collect Data Using Google Forms

Gather information faster and more easily.

Using new apps and programs can be intimidating, but once you take a chance on them, some will have you wondering why you didn’t give them a try sooner. Google Forms can definitely be one of those. Ten minutes after giving it a whirl, your mind will be bursting with ideas about all of the ways you can use it with students, parents, colleagues, and even friends.

There are so many ways to use Google forms, but here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Questionnaires for staff, students, and parents/guardians
• Volunteer availability sheets
• School newsletter submission requests
• Book club recommendations
• Treat day sign-ups
• Celebration invitations
• Research surveys (led by students)
• Evaluations

When you’re ready to get started on your own creation, use this step-by-step guide to get up to speed in a flash.

Sign in to your Google account.

Log in to your Google account. If you don’t already have an account, create one .

Next, open up Forms.

There are a number of ways to access Google Forms. Perhaps the simplest way is to search “Google forms” in your browser. You can also access it from Google Drive when you click on the plus icon to add a new file.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

Choose a template to use.

From the Forms home page, you can choose to start with a blank document or select from a number of templates. Scrolling through the templates gallery is worth a few minutes. It’s nicely organized, and you’ll easily be able to see if there is already a design that meets your needs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, simply choose to start a new blank form.

Name and describe your form.

Whether you choose to start from scratch or to use a prefab form, begin by giving your form a title. From the Questions tab, simply click on the title area to update it. This will not change the file name of the form; it will only change the title as it appears to recipients.

Below the title, click on the form description button to add details about the purpose, how you want recipients to proceed, what they should do if they have questions, and any other information you feel is helpful. Keep in mind that there’s no way to format the description text, so keep the content brief to maintain readability.

Add or edit content.

Google makes working with content blocks extremely easy. To add them, just click the plus icon on the right side of the page, which appears any time you hover over a content block within the form. You can also use this menu to add another title bar, add video, or begin a new section.

Add or edit your questions.

When using content blocks to ask questions, it’s as simple as entering a title (and even an image, if you’d like) and selecting answer format options, such as short answer, paragraph, multiple choice, check box, or drop down. Customizing is as easy as filling in your details over the light gray text prompts.

Make more selections.

At the bottom of each content block are icons that allow you to duplicate or delete it. Additionally, there’s a toggle to mark whether or not answering the question is required. Finally, there are additional details you can add to the question by clicking on the line of three dots next to the toggle. The submenu that appears gives you even more options to customize the setup of the question as well as parameters for accepted answers.

Decide how you want to receive responses.

Next to the Questions tab on the top of the page, you’ll find the Responses tab. Clicking here allows you to choose how you want to receive completed forms. You can click on the Google Sheets icon to create a spreadsheet with the response data or select from additional options (like receiving email notifications whenever there’s a new response) by clicking the three dots beside it.

Tweak the style.

If you chose to use a template, you may already like how your form looks. If you do want to make changes, however, you can do that by clicking the paint palette icon on the top right menu. This allows you to change the header, theme color, background color, and font style. As you play with it, you can click the eye icon right next to the palette to preview your changes.

Finalize the settings.

The next icon on the top-right section of the menu is the settings gear. Clicking that gives you even more opportunities to customize your form. Specifically, you’ll have a chance to decide how you want to handle additional features, like email collection, multiple responses, available summaries, question order, status tracking, shuffling questions, confirmation messages, quiz conversion, and more.

Share and explore.

Since this is part of Google’s suite of programs, you are able to share your form with other collaborators just as you would with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc. You can do this—as well as explore add-ons, find common editing menu items, and more—in the final three-dot icon at the end of the top right menu.

Sign, seal, and deliver!

Once your form is ready to go live, click the big send button on the top of the page. Don’t worry. Clicking the button won’t do anything just yet. It will give you one last chance to make some choices about how you want to use the form. In addition to selecting to email, hyperlink, embed code, or post on social media as sharing options, each has its own selections to further customize. Once you complete these options, though, it really is live; so be extra careful to make sure your form is set up just as you like it before you do!

How to Create a Google Docs Form

Make your own forms for anything you need

What to Know

• Visit docs.google.com/forms and select  Blank  or a template.
• From Docs, Sheets, or Slides: File  >  New  >  Form ; from Sheets, Tools  >  Create a Form  to link it to a spreadsheet automatically.
• Enter your questions and options.

This article explains how to create a Google Docs form.

Start a Google Form

While it was once an option in Google Sheets, Forms is a separate tool now. You can access it inside Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The most popular way to use Forms is by creating a  Google survey .

At the top of each form are tabs for Questions and Responses. Go to the Questions tab, then give the form a name and description, or more likely, instructions about how to proceed. Responses are stored on the Responses tab, but you can also have responses automatically added to a spreadsheet.

On the Responses tab, you can turn off  Accepting responses and add a message for users who attempt to fill out the form. You can also receive email notifications for new answers, download a CSV file, print, and delete all responses. 

A few options allow you to customize the form with a theme color, background color, and font. You can also add images, hover text, and YouTube videos to this area. To access these settings, select the palette icon at the top of the page.

Next to the palette are preview and settings. You can preview the form and answer each question to make sure everything works correctly. Settings include whether to collect email addresses and if respondents can submit more than once, which you might want if you use the form to capture ideas, for example. You can also make the form a quiz that permits auto-grading if you add an answer key.

Google Form Response Format Options

You can customize the format of responses you receive in many ways. A blank form contains one question, and you can add more by clicking the plus symbol on the right.

The default is multiple-choice, but there's also short answer, paragraph, check boxes, drop-down lists, scales, grids, date or time, and file upload. These options make Google Forms versatile. In addition to quizzes, you can use it for applications, homework submission, contests, and more.

Once you choose the answer type, you can further customize it, input multiple-choice or drop-down options, add other as an option, and enable or disable multiple answers. As you add more questions, you can duplicate your work if you plan to ask questions with similar choices. For example, "What is your favorite food?" followed by "What is your least favorite food?"

For all questions, you can decide whether an answer is required or not.

Add Sections to a Google Form

For a contact form or short survey, one page is probably suitable. However, if you have a longer questionnaire, divide it into sections. That way, you won't overwhelm the recipients. Select the button on the right under the YouTube symbol to add a section. Each section can have a separate title and a description or instructions.

You can drag and drop questions between sections as needed as well as duplicate sections. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, then select Duplicate Section . The menu includes options to move a section, delete a section, and merge with the section above.

Add Follow-Up Questions

There are times when you might want to ask questions based on previous responses. For example, if you ask a true or false question and want an explanation when the respondent enters false. To do this, add a section with a multiple-choice or drop-down response. Tap the three-dot menu in the lower-right corner and select  Go to section based on answer .

For each option, you can send the respondent to the next section or to any other section in the form, or skip to  Submit form  to end that respondent's participation.

Store Responses in Spreadsheet

For all forms, you can store the answers in a Google spreadsheet so you can organize and manipulate the data. You can either create the form from Google Sheets, as described above, or link it to a spreadsheet in settings.

From Sheets, go to  Tools  >  Create a Form . Otherwise, go to the Responses tab of the form. Click the green icon on the right to open a spreadsheet. Then, either create a new spreadsheet or select an existing one.

Select Create  or  Select  to proceed. By default, a new spreadsheet has a column for each question you created and a timestamp column that shows when the response was input. As you create more questions or edit existing ones, the spreadsheet updates.

If you linked the form to an existing spreadsheet, a response tab is added to it.

Share and Send the Form

You can share Google Forms with others if it's a group effort. Select the  three-dot-menu , choose  Add Collaborators , then enter the email addresses or copy the sharing link.

When the form is to your liking, check the settings before you send it. You can limit users to one response, allow them to edit their response after submitting it, link to the results if you're doing a poll, and change the confirmation message after someone submits their responses.

You can send and share a form with potential respondents in a variety of ways. Start by clicking  Send  at the top of the page.

• Send in an email :   Click the envelope icon and enter the recipients' email addresses, a subject, and a message.
• Share the link :   Click the link icon to copy the link to the form. You can also get a shortened form of the URL that starts with goo.gl/forms.
• Post it on social media:  Click the Facebook or X (formerly Twitter) icon on the right.
• Embed it on a website :   Click the greater than/less than symbols to copy the HTML code. You can also adjust the width and height of the form.

Build a Quiz With an Answer Key

Google Forms are a useful tool for quizzes since you can input the correct answers and assign point values. Your students can get instant feedback, and you don't have to go through a stack of papers. Alternatively, you can delay sending out the results and reviewing any questions that don't have a definitive answer, such as one with a short answer or paragraph response format.

After you collect the responses, you can see the average and median grades. You can also view each question to see how many got it right vs. wrong.

You can edit a template as you would edit a blank form. It's just a starting point.

How to Use Google Forms to Streamline Homework Data Collection

Using Google Forms to Streamline Homework Data Collection

10 comments:

How long is your class period?

Thank you for asking. I asked Danielle... 48 minutes.

This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing!

It was so nice of Danielle to write this post! I'm happy you found it helpful!

What do students do who did not do the homework while everyone else is checking? How long does it take for students to check their homework?

Good questions! I will ask Danielle and report back:)

I ashed Danielle and this was her reply: "They only fill it out for what they did. All students check in with me first so I can see who did their HW and who didn't. It only takes my kids 5-6 minutes. Most even start during passing time. As soon as they enter my room, they check-in and start checking their HW. I put notes in my gradebook about how much was done. This helps me track them better."

Is your school one-to-one? I'm assuming it is, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

I am interested in the interactive math notebook you mention when talking about where the students rate themselves. Is that digital or paper? Where can I find how you use that?

If you are in the Visual Math Facebook group, you can tag Danielle Fulbright with this question. She will be able to help!

How to Use Google Forms and Sheets for Behavior Tracking

Teachers need easy-to-use behavior management systems to ensure students are demonstrating positive behaviors.

Students demonstrating expected and unexpected behavior is not a new concept. Now, however, there is the unique layer of students being more isolated that has led to less social interaction for students since March 2020. As a result, districts, schools, and classrooms are dealing with the constant challenge of behavior tracking and finding a system to meet the unique needs of the 25+ students.

Understanding Behavior Management

The focus on behavior management is a top priority for many educators and administration.

Several factors impact student behavior, including creating a strong behavior management system . A behavior management system includes:

• Teachers and school administrations creating a list of expected and unexpected student and staff behaviors, displaying the list for reference, and reviewing behavior expectations consistently throughout the year
• Teachers consistently praising expected behaviors, which increases the likelihood for the behavior to continue.
• Teachers identifying how to consistently respond to disruptive behavior .
• Administrators and teachers collaborating to establish a school wide behavior management system and  behavior tracking template

Behavior Tracking in Google Forms

One resource to help monitor student behavior is Google Forms. As you’re probably familiar, Google Forms is a free easy-to-use tool that can be shared with the educational team and parents.

Google Forms can be created as Behavior Rubric examples for class-wide behavior tracking or individual student needs. Forms can be used to gather data when a student has a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and/or an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) with behavior goals. 

Google forms are customizable with several ways to respond to a question: multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, short answer or paragraph response, or linear scale. Questions can be marked as required and the form can be saved to a student’s device to have multiple teachers use the same behavior tracking system (if the student rotates among many teachers during the day).

Google Forms Behavior Tracking Template

Access the behavior tracking form template →

This particular form was used for a student in 7th grade. At the end of class when a behavior incident occurred, teachers would complete the form with the student. The student and teacher would discuss the responses which provided real-time feedback. 

All teachers within the educational team had access to the response page and could see if the student had a challenging class earlier in the day, which might impact their behavior in their current class.

The Google Form organizes the responses in charts/graph format that can be included in weekly updates to the educational team, parents, and students, as well as within goal updates if the student has an IEP.

Here’s an example of a behavior tracking pie chart based on one of the questions in the Google form:

Behavior Tracking in Google Sheets

Educational teams also have the option to view the Google Form responses on a Google Sheet document. The spreadsheet can be shared with the educational team, parents, and students. Notifications can be added to receive real-time or daily reports of the behavior tracking sheet. These updates can be tied to weekly student incentives at both school and home.

To set up notifications:

• Select “Tools” Tab
• Select “Notification Rules”
• Identify your preference: “Notify me when any changes are made or a user submits a form”
• Identify your preference: “Notify me with email- daily digest or email- right away”

Google Sheets Behavior Tracking Template

google forms behavior template

Access the behavior tracking sheet template →

Successful Behavior Management with Google Tools

There are several factors to increase the likelihood of success with behavior tracking sheets:

• Include the student(s) in the process by having open discussions. Ask student(s) to reflect on their daily behavior, how often are they displaying expected and unexpected behavior.
• Create the behavior tracking form with the student, have them choose a motivational image to include on the form, and/or change the color to be one of their favorites.
• Include a classroom rewards or incentive system for them to work towards, ask student(s) to identify what motivates them or what do they want to work to earn.
• Set weekly and long-term goals to ensure student(s) have a timeline for what to work towards.
• Share consistent updates with the educational team to increase completion of the form throughout the school day

Why Focus on Behavior Tracking

Educators and administration have many goals to focus on each year. Reduction in office referrals and correcting misbehavior is possible when administrators collaborate with educators to establish a robust behavior management system that follows PBIS best practices .

About the Event

Teachers are experiencing a greater number of disruptive behaviors in the classroom. More than ever before, teachers need easy-to-use behavior management systems to ensure students are demonstrating positive behaviors.

11 annoying tasks Google Gemini will soon handle for you

• Google's Gemini enhances AI search capabilities, easily generates audio content & text with photos, handles large data like videos.
• Gemini facilitates simplified Gmail usage by automating tasks, answering questions. Beta rolling out to Lab users in September.
• Android users can use Google Gemini in more apps for live video searches, near real-time scam call detection & multimedia AI task handling.

From the time Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai walked onto the annual Google I/O stage to the time the two-hour-long event wrapped up, the team would mention AI more than 120 times. That count, of course, is according to Gemini itself. The annual event held in California on May 14 was heavily focused on Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google's latest update to the AI platform formerly known as Bard.

Google I/O 2024: The 13 biggest announcements from the show

The updates coming to Google Gemini focus on "making AI helpful for everyone," as Pichai described. Key to the newest AI skills are the ability to mix and match text with audio, photos and video as well as the ability to now handle one million tokens (or two million, for developers). That will soon empower Gemini to use your phone’s camera to ask questions about your surroundings, have Gemini return that online order you didn't like, or recognize scam calls on Android in real time, to name just a few of the on-stage demonstrations.

The one million token capability and faster Gemini 1.5 Pro is rolling out beginning today for Gemini Advanced subscribers, while other AI tricks from the I/O stage were just teasers of what’s currently under development.

If you missed the biggest announcements coming from Google's largest developers conference, or perhaps tuned out after the first Taylor Swift joke, we've rounded up the biggest problems that Google's AI will soon attempt to solve.

Searching the web when you don't know exactly what to search for

You could soon search with video.

With the latest updates, Pichai says Gemini will even do the Googling for you. Rolling out today, searchers will be able to ask Google a question and have Gemini answer right in Search.

But perhaps the more powerful tool is the ability to search when you don’t have the right words to explain what you are looking for. In the coming weeks, Google is rolling out video capabilities in Search. In the demonstration, the company showed how you could use video to fix a record player or a film camera when you don’t even know what the name of the broken part is or why its not working.

Google's AI will soon power a more powerful web search that allows you to ask multiple questions in one. Multistep reasoning capabilities allow Search to answer multi-part questions. For example, the company demoed searching not just for a nearby yoga studio, but searching for specific characteristics, like studios that are beginner-friendly and within walking distance.

If you don't know what to ask, Google says Search will soon get AI organization, rolling out to dining first. This means you can search for a place to spend your anniversary dinner, and Search will organize into different options to give you more ideas, like rooftop dining or historic places. While the organization is heading first to dining, it will soon also roll out books, music, shopping, hotels and more.

Ask about real world objects in real time

Give gemini a live camera view and get real-time data.

Alphabet’s AI will soon help users search in the world around them, much like Google Search helps find things on the web. During I/O, the company demonstrated Project Astra, which uses live video to search the surroundings in real-time, tackling things like finding a specific book on your physical bookshelf to asking where you left your glasses.

During the demonstration, the feature worked both on a smartphone and using AR glasses. The demo also showed asking the AI questions in real-time, from locating a specific object to showing the AI code and asking what it does.

Did Google sneak a pair of A/R glasses into its I/O demo?

The beginnings of these video features will be rolling out to the Gemini app later this year.

Consolidate long-form content, even across multiple apps

Subscribers can feed the ai up to 1,500 pdf pages.

One of the biggest features arriving with Gemini 1.5 is the ability to handle long-form content, thanks to support for one million tokens for Gemini Advanced subscribers. (Developers will now be able to use up to two million tokens). Tokens indicate how much data the AI can handle at once, with the one million token limit meaning Gemini could summarize a PDF up to 1,500 pages or a video up to one hour long.

OpenAI finally has a ChatGPT desktop app. Mac users get first dibs

But the update doesn't just bring the ability to handle large amounts of data, but the ability to work across multiple apps. For example, you can ask Gemini to summarize all the emails from your child’s school in Gmail, but it can also read the Google Meet board meeting and summarize that as well.

Transform large data into a new format

Turn your study notes into an auditory lecture.

Gemini's large data summarization capabilities sound impressive, but Gemini will also be able to change the format of that data. It isn't limited to summarizing text and then spitting out more text -- it can tell you about those documents audibly.

According to the demo, you can even interrupt this summary to ask more questions. In the demo, this capability was used to consolidate multiple resources from a student to generate a study guide, take practice tests, or listen to an audible lecture on the topic.

Search your photos for answers

Gemini can use your photos to answer personalized questions.

Gemini's enhanced search capabilities also extend to Photos. Yes, Google Photos already has a search box. But, instead of delivering multiple images of your car when you ask it for your license plate number, Gemini can soon jump straight to the answer, listing your license plate number instead of a hundred photos of your car that might contain the correct information.

You can also soon ask it milestone questions, like when your child first learned to swim, and it will simply tell you the answer rather than displaying all photos of a swimming pool.

Generate more detailed photos, even with text

Generative photos, video and music also gets a major boost.

The Gemini updates also extend to its generative capabilities for images, video and music. A key update for images is the ability to handle text. AI typically can’t place text on an image without creating nonsensical, misspelled words. Google's Senior Research Director Doug Eck says that the new Imagen 3 creates more detailed generative images with fewer distortions, but is also better at rendering text. (OpenAI similarly announced enhanced capabilities with text on images during its event yesterday .)

Video generation also gets a boost with Veo, the new generative video model. It delivers more tools like creating aerial images and timelapses, along with tools like extending the length of an existing video.

The photo and video capabilities, along with enhanced music AI, don’t yet have a launch date but are available to select creators through Google Labs, with a waitlist open now.

Summarize tasks in Gmail

Gemini can soon automate tasks for you.

Gmail's AI integration is about to get a lot more advanced than simple reply suggestions. Rolling out to Google Lab users this September, Gemini will soon power tasks like asking your Gmail questions. It can also create rules for future emails, like adding a receipt sent to your email to an expense tracker in Sheets, then continuing to update that document with new Sheets.

Those features begin rolling out to Google Labs in September.

Answer questions or flag scammers inside Android apps

Android users can use gemini within more key apps.

Gemini on Android builds the AI directly into the operating system, which allows Android users to work with the AI without leaving the app that they are in. The Gemini overlay will soon work in more Android apps. That enables tasks like asking a question in YouTube to get an answer generated from the video that you are watching. Gemini Advanced subscribers will also have access to "Ask this PDF," a rollout coming in the next few months.

Gemini AI is Google's new secret weapon against spam calls

Part of this integrated Android AI experience is scam detection, where the AI listens to your calls and immediately alerts you if it suspects the caller is a scammer. Google says that this feature is currently in testing.

Let AI Agents to do the work for you

Gemini can handle more tasks like filling out forms with less input from you.

Gemini can already write your emails for you, but with Agents, Gemini can take more actions for you. During I/O, the company demonstrated how Gemini could help you return a pair of shoes by locating a receipt in your Gmail, filling out the return form for you, and even scheduling a package pickup. Or, it could help update your address after you move across all the different services that you use. The company says that the Agents work under your supervision but are able to reason, plan and think multiple steps ahead.

Aid in learning with LearnFM

Learnnm is a new model of gemini specific for education.

Much of the demonstrations centered on how a student (or a parent of a student) can use AI for learning. LearnNM is an educational model of Gemini that’s designed specifically to help with homework, like creating a study guide or practice tests, or using the camera to help solve a math problem.

Customize the ai interaction with gems, like gpts, gemini can soon customize your interactions.

Another key I/O update will change the way that users can interact with Gemini. Gems are personalized forms of Gemini that are designed for specific interaction. Users can tell the program how they want it to act, say, to create a writing tutor or get peer review on software code. Gems are as simple as typing out how you want Gemini to act for you. But, Google will also create some pre-made Gems for common tasks, a feature that feels similar to ChatGPT's range of custom GPTs.

The update is the latest in Google’s heavy commitment to AI this year. In 2024 alone, Google has renamed Bard to Gemini, created the Gemini Advanced subscription, created the first smartphone with AI built-in with the Pixel 8 Pro, and added image generation. The latest announcements at Google I/O make good on the company's previous promises to bring the AI into Search.

Google Gemini, formerly Bard, is the company's artificial intelligence platform that includes not just a browser chatbot but integration into various Google tools, from helping write emails to working in Sheets. Gemini is multimodal, which means the AI can understand written text as well as images, video, code and audio.

5 new GPT-4o features making ChatGPT better than ever

Google's Gemini update comes hot on the heels of OpenAI's event on March 13 which announced significant changes to ChatGPT. Chief among those changes is GPT-4o , which is a new model that works across text, vision and audio rather than using three separate models for different inputs, as in GPT-4. The move could help ChatGPT better compete with the likes of Gemini, which was already multimodal.
