Here’s a short guide on how to carry out an online survey using Google Docs. I’ve put a link into the Guides section of this website.
For example this would be alternative way to collect class data about variation which might be easier than having one computer in the corner that each students goes to in turn to add their information, or having lots of different spreadsheets that have to be cut and pasted into one master document. Using this method the class could each visit an online form and enter their data, filling up the spreadsheet automatically. The spreadsheet can then be downloaded and shared via the school network.
It could also be used for parental surveys, or for class projects – sending the link to the survey out via Twitter or email to partner schools and ask them to fill in the information.
The guide is up on Scribd – so you can read it there or download a copy.
