Collecting and sharing your Google Account



Step 2: Create a Form

Follow-along with the lead-learner and create a form.  If you are revisiting this page as a resource later, you can click here for a tutorial on making forms.  Ask 2-3 "get to know you" questions in your form.  Feel free to ask straight forward, biographical questions, or be a little creative and see if you can find out something surprising about others in the room.

Step 3: Share your form

Go to the newly created class list of Google accounts.  Find your name, and invite the next two people on the list BELOW your name to fill out your form.

Step 4: Respond to others forms!

Go to your email and refresh until you've received your invites.  Fill out your two form invites, and then see if you can find the results to your Google Docs home!
