docAppender Google Forms Add-On

       docAppender works with Google Forms.  It takes what is put into a Google Form into a Google Doc for you.  This is great if you would like to use Google forms to take notes while working with students or parents.  The information is exported to a Google Doc based on your preference - vertical table, horizontal table, or bulleted list.  For example, if you are taking notes in a Google Form about a writing conference with a student, the information will be collected in a Google Doc specific to that student for you.  This is great if you want to go paperless or have access to your notes anywhere anytime without dragging a binder around.



Ways to use docAppender:
  • Note taking on student's skills, academic progress, or behaviors.
  • Note taking on parent / teacher communication.
  • Quiz / Test Taking / Quick Checks for students to take and teacher grades in Google Doc.
  • Feedback / Survey
