The most common are ‘text’ which asks for a short answer. ‘paragraph text’ which asks for a long open answer. ‘multiple choice’ which allows the participant to pick one answer. ‘checkboxes’ which allows them to choose multiple answers.

Section Headers
These can really help transform the way you use a Google Form, as they can be completely self contained. You could use Google Forms for cover work, homework and for flipping the classroom!
Page breaks can change the content different participants get. For example, the first page could ask them if they want to complete the form in English, German, French or Spanish. Depending on the answer they click, the form can direct them to a page which has content only in that language.
Making them Pretty is Super Easy!

You simply make a form, fill it in yourself with the correct answers, then when others have also filled it in you can use Flubaroo.�Open up the results page, click ‘add ons’ and install Flubaroo. Once you have done this, you will find new options including ‘grade assignment’ and ‘email grades’. Flubaroo will flag up students who are struggling, questions many got wrong and it will give you the class average!
