An Introduction to Google Forms

Google Forms is an easy way to create

surveys, forms, questionnaires and
quizzes. Select from multiple question

and customize values as easily as pasting
a list. Forms allows you to watch responses
appear in real time and then gather results
in a spreadsheet and analyze data right in
