That's what I would do if I'm doing research with that many variables. Thanks for the question, though.Chapel Hill Snippetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556275873912032352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-139582748133952698.post-71120485410194608632013-05-27T16:47:46.409-04:002013-05-27T16:47:46.409-04:00Hi Ruth, let me please ask you a question:

Do you think I should have one form for each subject? What happens when he comes back for his new appointment in three months? Should I keep adding questions? Or maybe I could fit everyone in one huge form somehow and keep feeding it into one huge database - I seem to like it better this way, since this is how I have worked before with spreadsheets.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />g.guelllermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09010159972589550400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-139582748133952698.post-21823558310494514862013-01-02T17:04:57.996-05:002013-01-02T17:04:57.996-05:00Hi Courtney, Thanks for your question. It's ...Hi Courtney, Thanks for your question. It's easy to alter a form by adding new items. Editing the existing items heavily however, may cause your form/spreadsheet to malfunction. With existing questions, though, you can add choices (edit the question) but don't completely change the question type. I hope this makes sense--i.e. you can add more choices to checkboxes or multiple choice, but you can't change a multiple choice question to a 'grid' without confusing your spreadsheet. I add new items at the end all the time, though.

I have set up an attendance form, which I think will be very useful, but am uncertain how to go about the IEP goal forms. My concern is that I will determine in a week or so, when I work on a specific goal, that I don't have enough options on the form to fulfill what I want to include. I guess my concern is that I will want to edit the form to be more specific in an area, but will alter the entire form and erase the data that has been entered previously. Is this a possibility? Have you altered the Google form for a student after you began using it?

To have you go so much more in depth and answer all the questions I've had now that I've started...I'm THRILLED! A million thanks!
