GOOGLE FORMS, MORE THAN JUST FOR SURVEYS

Thursday, March 9, 2023

2 pm Eastern

(1 pm Central; 12 noon Mountain; 11 am Pacific; 10 am Alaska)

Creating and sharing forms created with Google Forms is simple and easy. While the first applications that come to mind are surveys, some of the most effective uses are for forms that we create for ourselves or for our teams. We will explore many of the capabilities and examine simple and practical uses. The best forms are easy to use and appealing to the eye. Data from a google form seamlessly port to Google Sheets, making it easy to organize and sort results. There are also many opportunities to use forms for collaboration between office staff and teams or an administrator.


Cost: $50 per person
