Google Forms have a lot of different settings and options for your form. So if we go up to this gear here, that's our settings, we're going to click on that. And the settings are in three different categories. So the first one under general, is collect email addresses. Now, if you see a checkmark in the box, that means that feature is activated. And if there's no checkmark, it's not.
So it depends what you're using your form for. If you want it to be totally anonymous, then you don't want to collect email addresses. But if you're using this in a classroom, and you need to know who each student is, and you want the email addresses attached, you can do that. So I'm going to click on it so you can see just click right there. A response receipts are that they're going to get notification that their form was turned in. Right now.
I'm going to leave that off. The next option is if it requires signing, so for your school district, you can restrict it to the people in your school district. If you're using it for a quiz or for your students. That's a good thing to do so that somebody can fill out this form that's not in your class or not in the James Byrd school district or whatever school district that you work for. The bad thing about that is if you are using this form, and you want parents to fill it out, or anyone else, then you don't want to restrict it to James Webb school district users because parents don't have a issued email from James Burke, only their student their children do. So it depends who you want to fill this out.
If it's students, I would suggest you leave it on. If not, I would turn it off. You can also limit this form to one response. When we're all finished. Today, I'm going to show you how you share this form. And one of the ways is with a link.
Once that link is there, and this form is active, the users can come back in and fill out this form as many times as they want, unless you'd say that they can only do it once. So again, it depends what this form is for. If you're going to use it as a quiz for students. You only want to let them do it once because if they do Go and speak to somebody else and decide they did it wrong, they can come back in and submit another quiz or another form. Sometimes if you're taking a survey or you're voting on something, you want to limit it to one response, because otherwise people will come in and vote as many times as they want. And maybe then your results are not accurate.
So it depends what you are using this form for if you want to limit it to one response or not. Also, you're letting it know if after the user submits this form, can they edit it? So again, if it's a quiz, and you don't want them to do that, then you wouldn't let them you leave it off that they cannot edit it. If it is for something else, maybe it's a signup sheet for what somebody is bringing to a luncheon or something like that. You may want to allow editing because somebody may change their mind and then they want to go in and fix that. And the charts and text we're going to see that later in Google Sheets.
If you make any changes here, you have to hit save. Even if you go to the next area of settings, you have to hit Save or won't save so Right now, I didn't make any changes, I'll put a checkmark here. And I'm going to hit save. And now to see some of those other settings, I'm going to go back back to my son wheel, and I'm going to move over to presentation. So the options under presentation is if you want to show a progress bar or not. So sometimes when you are taking a survey or answering questions online, you don't know how long it is.
And you might start to fill in a few questions. And you may think you don't want to do it anymore. Well, if you have a progress bar at the bottom, it'll show you if you're halfway done or three quarters done, so that the person filling out the form knows how much longer the form is. A lot of times that helps when you're using that for purposes of a survey or for some reason that you want somebody to use your form. The next one is good if you're using your form as a quiz, and you want to shuffle the question order so that students cannot look over on someone else's screen and have the same question in the same order and be able to cheat. So you can shuffle the question order would make a difference for each user.
So they'll have all the same questions or just be in a different order. And do you want to show the link to submit another response? Well, if you don't want them to go back in and submit it again, then I would turn it off. But if you do want to have the link on there, so that they can go in and you allow them to audible form, you want to have the link so that they can go back and make the changes. A confirmation message is once there they submit their form, something that you want to say so you can actually customize that here. So for instance, if you are using this for a quiz, you can say thank you for meeting form.
I will read these. This way, don't keep coming up and asking you you know, the degraded, did you grade it so you can tell them? I'm not grading it even till next week. So don't ask or if you're sending this in as a feedback form or a form that's going out to someone else. than students, you can just say thank you for submitting your form. You know, we appreciate it or whatever message you want to give here, because a lot of times when we submit things online, and then we don't get any sort of confirmation where we wonder, did it go?
Is it there? Did they get it? What are they going to do with it? So we can put a little message here to let people know, thank you, I got your form, I'll be looking at it, you know, in the next couple of weeks, or whatever your message is going to be. I'm going to hit save. And then the last section under Settings, is quizzes.
So if you are using this as a quiz, you don't have to click this option to make it a quiz. But this will give you some other options. So you can actually make a form with all your different question types and still use it as a quiz. But this option, if you click it will allow it to be a self grading quiz if you use these certain question types. So if I do that, now it activated all of these options, which when it was off, we're not activated, they're kind of grayed out so I'm going to put them on and As my first option, do I want to release the grade. So when I release it, are you going to do it immediately after they submit it, or later after manual review.
So if you're not giving them the option to make any changes, you can do that immediately. Maybe you have a quiz and you might give the students some extra points for making corrections, then you don't want to release it because then they know the correct answers. So then you can put it on later after manual review, after maybe you do a review and give them a chance to get some points back. So again, that's dependent on what you're doing with the actual grade. Some other options here is can the user see missed questions? That's a good one to have on because we don't want to have them miss something.
This will let them know. So as they're taking the quiz, if they missed the question, and they try to hit submit, it will give them a notification that you missed the questions. That depends are using the form. And do we want to know if it is a quiz? That's a good idea to these things are there I'm going to say now it's going to bring me out to my children. In the next video, we'll talk about the different types of questions that you can add to the quiz.
