Stop sharing spreadsheets, start collecting information:

The Google Docs Blog posts today about a new feature in Google Docs Spreadsheets called forms. It basically allows you to share a Google Docs Spreadsheet as a form with others and the data they enter in that form is automatically added to a Google Docs Spreadsheet. So rather than sharing a spreadsheet with others, you can send them a form to fill out and the data they enter is automatically entered into a Google Docs Spreadsheet. Lots of possibilities here… I tested it on my iPhone and the form works nicely. Think I’m going to redo my Learning Walk form tomorrow…

    Tim, what a great new feature. Thanks for sharing. I can think of some great ways to use this at school for collecting data from teachers and students. Hope the weather in Oregon is decent!

    Tim,

    I hadn’t seen this yet. Very nice, though! We can put it to use immediately with the project we’re working on.

    See you in San Antonio?
