Google Forms

Just ran across a new feature in Google Docs - Google Forms

In one of the last meetings there was a discussion of if we had an easy form creator.  This seems to fit the bill, as it was real fast to create a form, and the responses go in a spreadsheet.

Here is an example of one (based on the pilot project idea):

Setting up the form was fast as templates are provided.

Could also be a useful tool for faculty to collect info, or students to collect data etc. etc.  Seems like a workshop in Google Docs for teaching may be useful.

Screencast on how to do a Google Form - even better it is a college teacher using the tool for teaching:  http://blip.tv/file/702627
