Back to School HyperDoc Form

Back to School HyperDoc Form

a writing activity to get to know your students

Welcome back to school! I'm looking forward to a year of creating and sharing new ideas and applications for integrating technology into pieces of your curricumum. As you start back with your students, I wanted to share a lesson that you can use with just a little bit of work on your part. 

Link to the finished HyperDoc Form

Engage your students to share a little about themselves without to many teacher led instructions using this amazing video by John Spencer and a Google Form to package student responses. 

Unfortunately, you can not share the form I created with your students or you won't receive their replies. You also can not make a copy of the form I created, but below are some instructions on how to recreate it yourself. 

1. 

   Start by creating a new form. Not sure how? Click HERE for a video tutorial to help. I did not make all questions mandatory in case students didn’t want to share 5 things.

2. To add the image, take a screenshot of it or right click to copy. (Or create your own!) Tutorial video on how to take a screenshot using Snagit                                                

3. To insert an image or a video in a form, click on add item and select either image or video. Once you put the item in, click on it to resize. You can also center it. Add a section header for more instructions if you want. 
4. HERE is a link to John Spencer’s awesome video.
5. To change the look of the form, select Change Theme then Customize. Play around with it to get the look you want.
6. To see your final form, click View Live Form and share that link with you students. You will find the responses in your drive.
