Lisa,

Thanks for putting together the form for us to save a copy and use. It saved me a bunch of time since I didn't have to copy and paste titles/authors to make my own Google form this year!

Once I saved my copy, I did change the question format from "checkboxes" to "Choose from a list." This way students can only choose ONE book. (Checkboxes allows for students to check off more than one title and that would throw off voting results.) Also, from using a Goog form in the past, I've seen common mistakes that can happen. I make all questions "required." I also added a question for students' names. I don't share the names with anyone, but one year I had a student submit like ten forms/votes (by mistake, honest) for one book. Because I had students submit name with form, I was able to talk to the student, find out it was a mistake and adjust our voting results to reflect the book he chose once (instead of ten times!)

Hope this helps!

~Val

Google Forms (to collect individual votes at your school/library):

You can have students vote online for your school tally using Google Forms. Please note that this does not submit the vote directly to the state. You still need to use the survey monkey link to submit your students' votes.

Here is a copy of a Google Form you can copy and use in your library.

Here's how:

            Log into Google

            Click on the Intermediate or Teen link below

            Go to your Google Drive. The Google Form spreadsheet for voting should be listed as one of your files.

            Check the box next to the file

            New menu choices should now appear across the top of your file list.

            Click on More, then choose the option to Make a copy

            You should now have 2 new files that says 'Copy of 2013 Teen (or Intermediate) Nutmeg Voting'  and one that says 'Copy of 2013 Teen (or Intermediate) Nutmeg Voting (Responses)'

            You are now the owners of these copied files and you can rename, personalize for your library, and view the results.
