And Google Forms


The three documents

mentioned ealier



have the same great features


And that is to be able to work

on the documents



With online collaborators, all at

the same time



Let’s try exploring Google Docs


Click “Go to Google Docs”


A new tab will open this blank

Google Docs page


Click here to create a new

document


Here now is your blank

document


Give your document a title by

clicking this


This will pop up


Give your document a title


Then click “Ok”


The title of your document has

now been changed


Go to the body of the

document


Then start typing and editing

your file


using these tools above


You can also upload Word files

that you can edit



Just click “File”



Then “Open”



Click “Upload”



Then select the file from your

computer



Select the file that you want to

upload



Then click “Open”



Then the file will then be

uploaded



You can share the documents

by clicking “Share”


This will pop up


Enter the e-mail addresses of

your collaborators


Limit what they can do by

clicking this


Write a note about it


Then press “Send”


They can now access that file

on Google docs


Once they log on to their own

accounts


You can also download the file

in a different format


Again just go to “File”


Then go to “Download as”


Then choose what format you

want for your file


You can also put comments

that collaborators can see


Highlight the specific part



that you want to put a

comment about



Click on “Comment”


Then click “Add a comment”


This will appear



Write your comment inside the

box



Then click “Comment”



The collaborators will now be

able to view the comment



After taking action to what the

comment is asking for



They can mark it resolved by

clicking this afterwards



Now with the Google Sheet



and Google Slide



You can do the same things

too



You can either make a new file



Or upload from your computer

and edit



And also have your

collaborators contribute their

ideas in it



Basically, that’s how to use

Google Docs



It’s now your turn to try using it!



Now let’s go to Google Forms


Go to “Google Forms”


This new page will open


This is a blank form


Scroll down


These are the editing tools


And the send button


Let’s now start making a new

Google Form


Let’s start by giving our form a

title

Click “Untitled form”


This will pop-up


Type here your preferred title


Then click “Ok”


The titles now have been

changed


Put a form description here


Go to Untitled Question


Then write something in it


Click this


Then choose from the options


There is where the respondents

will put their answers


For this example, let’s choose

“Text”


Then click “Done”


Then it’s going to look like this

afterwards


Let’s add another one by

clicking “Add item”


There goes another one for your

next question


Again, go to “Question title”


Type another question


Then choose again from the

options


But since the answer is quite

long


Let’s choose this option this

time


You now have two questions


Once you’re done


It’s now time to make it look

better


Click “Change theme”


You’ll see a variety of themes

to choose from


Once you click on the theme


The theme of your form will

instantly change


Here now is your finished form


If you want to go back to

editing it


Just click “Edit questions”


Then you will be taken back to

the edit screen


Once you’re done

Click “Send form”

This will pop up


You can send the form by

sending this link


to your respondents

Or you can also share using

these social media sites


And lastly by sending it through

e-mail


Let’s now learn how to see the

responses


You can simply view the responses

by clicking “View Responses”


Upon clicking, a spreadsheet will

open containing the responses


Or if you want the responses to be

recorded


to an existing spreadsheet


Just click “Responses”


Click “Change response

destination”


Then click the second option


Then click the “Choose”


That’s all about the Google

Docs and Google Form tutorial



Unity is strength...

when there is

teamwork and

collaboration,

wonderful things can

be achieved.
