This Guide provides information and resources from Research and Student Success Librarian, Kacy Lovelace's IPED session, Using the Library of Congress, the Teaching with Primary Sources Teachers Network, Google Sites, Google Forms, AI, and D4D Exercises t

Google Forms

https://www.google.com/forms

Now that we’ve started creating Slides, lets create a Google Form, which will allow us to upload our slides and enter the questions and answers that will act as the needed clues for students to progress through the escape room.

  • Click New Form
  • Give your Form the same Title as your Slides.
  • Settings
    • Make this a quiz
    • Missed answers on
    • Correct answers off
    • Point values off
    • Make questions required by default

Don’t title your Sections or Questions. We don’t want these to show up in the finished product.

  • Title Slide - Click add image and locate the title slide that you downloaded.
  • In the righthand menu, choose add section. We are going to treat each clue as a new section.

  • Scene Slide - Upload your next slide.
    • As I’m still not asking users to answer a question, I’m going to use add section here to progress to the next slide (a Next button will appear when we see the front facing form), you could add a question or clue here if needed.
  • Clue 1 Slide – Upload slide.
    • Click Add question and answer and make sure that each slide has the required button toggled on.
    • Short answer questions are typically most appropriate; however, you have to enter your answers perfectly or your students won’t be able to solve the puzzle.
    • You can type in multiple correct answers and choose to accept no other answers. You can also use the answer feedback field to give hints in game.
  • Duplicate/Add additional sections/slides/questions for each clue.

Be careful: you want to stay organized, and it can be hard when you start saving images with their own number, page numbers, and dates as you see in clue 3.
