So what about forms?Forms is a "doc" on Google Drive. I am sure you have filled a form out before - now it is your chance to create one. Start by Clicking on "Create" and chose "Form". You will get some options and it is pretty straight forward. But I would keep it simple. The best thing about this form is that the supplied answers will fill in a spread sheet for you. So keep that in mind - Each Question you ask becomes a column across the top and each response is a row. The hard part is deciding what to use it for. So on the right are some ideas. Please add your own in the comments. There is no need to ask for time or date as that will automatically be recorded. You can also stop collecting data at any time.
