How to Make an Excel Survey (Similar to a Google Form)

I have been a Google fan for years now, especially because of the well-known Google Docs and Google Forms.  When recently talking to a Microsoft fan, he said that Microsoft has what they call a "Excel Survey", which is similar to a Google Form.

I will say that Google Forms has so much more customization and has the ability to quickly grade your responses using Flubaroo.  With that being said, more customization means Google Forms can be more complex to navigate and create.  Because Excel Surveys are basic, it does not take  much time or knowledge to create one yourself.

First of all, why create a Google Form or Excel Survey?  Below are some ways teachers can use surveys in the classroom.

• Pre and post assessments
• Tests or quizzes
• Parent contact information
• Library check out
• Reading log
• Parent/student communication logs
• Sight word assessment
• Collecting any type of data 
• Documentation when you discuss student performance with parents
