To create your own survey, follow these easy steps:
1. In Google Drive, choose the Create button and find Forms.
2. Click on that and you will see a box asking you to choose a title and theme. Choose a theme and give your survey a title.
3. Keep it simple to start with - maybe 5 questions to start. Look at all the question types you can use! Text, Paragraph, Multiple Choice, Date, etc. Enter the question, decide on the type, and choose Add Item to go on to your next question.
4. Mix it up and try different question types. Have fun! When you're done, hit submit and follow the next prompts, and you're done!
