Using Google Forms as a Project Based Learning (PBL) Checklist

Why It Matters

Ever have trouble keeping track of the status of all your students on a project that has several phases?  Try using Google Forms as a project management tools for a PBL learning environment.

The feature that makes this even more powerful than ever is that Google Forms NOW allows individuals to edit a form response after they have submitted it. The modified response will not create a new entry, but modify the existing entry on the spreadsheet. These edits will be reflected in your spreadsheet and in your summary of responses.
Note: If you provide the option to edit a response, an individual can modify their response as many times as they like. This is only available in Google Apps Domains (not in public Google accounts)

When creating Form -- Check Allow Users to EDIT Responses

Provide Students with the link to the Project Management Form and ask them to add links or notes about their document progress as they proceed to the next steps.

Make sure you KEEP Email me my form results checked.  

The Form Spreadsheet Data can also be shared with the class so EVERYONE can have an overall picture of how the project is coming along.
