How to Set Up Data Tracking Forms on Your Google Drive
1. Create a Folder in Your Google Drive to Store Forms
I created a folder called “Classroom Data” to store my digital data. In the folder, I have master copies of each of the forms, plus the Digital Data Sheets PDF. Then, I have a separate folder for each of my students to hold their personalized forms.
2. Make Copies of Forms from the Simple Data Form PDF
When you open the Digital Data Sheets PDF, scroll down to the “Simple Data Forms” page. There, you will see links to the General IEP Goal Form, Frequency Data Form, and ABC Data Form. When you click on one, you will be prompted to make a copy. After that, save the form to your data folder.
3. Customize Forms for Data Tracking
All of the Google Forms can be customized for individual student needs and goals. Don’t forget to change the title of the form so you know which one is which!
4. View Results
When you have collected some responses, you can view your results in a variety of ways. Go back to the “edit” mode of your form. At the top, there is an option for “Responses,” where you can view the information. There are graphs that you can view. Also, you can also export all of the data to a Google Sheet.
5. Collaborate on Data Tracking
Utilizing Google Forms makes it so convenient to collaborate with others! You can share Google Forms with paraprofessionals and related service providers so everyone is able to easily take data on students. And then, all of the data will be stored in one place!
