Google Forms for Data Collection <---- Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Posted on 05:00 by Unknown
I wish I could say that I thought of doing my data collection this way myself, but I actually got it from Heather Marchuck over at Quart Size Communicators!  You MUST check out her post on paperless data collection; it is fantastic!  Her tutorial is super thorough which makes it a breeze to set up!  

I have always thought about doing my therapy notes online so I didn't have to lug around a giant binder full of papers, but just didn't know how to go about doing it in the most efficient way.  Heather takes you through the process of creating a Google Form for each student so you are able to quickly and easily record attendance, data, and any other notes you want from the session. 

To make it even more convenient, I downloaded the Google Drive app on my iPad so I always have easy access to my therapy notes.  If you don't have an iPad, not a problem.  You can access your Google Forms via email.  Heather's tutorial shows how to send a copy of the form to your email.

The biggest perk of doing my notes online?  COPY AND PASTE FOR MEDICAID BILLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seriously my billing goes a million times faster now that I just copy and paste from the spreadsheet Google creates for me after I record each session.  

Here is what my Google Form looks like:






It looks overwhelming at first, but seriously it's super easy!  After you create one then all you have to do is Make a Copy of it and change the kids name, IEP info, and IEP goals.  Everything else stays the same.  

I basically did the same thing as Heather with only a few minor changes.  I added the Intensity and Frequency of Prompting/Cuing....




I think I also did check boxes for a few things that she didn't.  The check boxes are nice because sometimes you work on more than one goal per session or do multiple activities per session.  I like that flexibility.  

Does anyone else use Google Forms for their therapy data?!?!? How do you like it?
