This is a form - it lets you enter data into the box above and send it to a results table, but only if it has been opened in HTML format (i.e. you cannot see the button bar). Every entry made to this form will be sent to the same result table - so its a great way of collating data entered by a class, or many classes, at different times on different computers. If you are in ?edit mode (with the button bar showing) then you will see a form results button on the RHS of the screen. Click on this to see the data entered to this form. The example below is from the 'persuasive' file.















Explore the options. They are fairly self explanatory. Save as CSV will allow you to save the files in a format that will go into a spreadsheet, if you know about spreadsheets you might be feeling excited by this! You should not be able to clear the form because it belongs to me - not you. You could save this form in your area, then the data collected would be under your control, I think!

If you are looking at the form in edit mode (button bar visible), you cannot enter data to the various data entry boxes. To do this you need to be in HTML view. Look at the URL - at the end of it is /?edit - showing you are in edit mode.

In the URL change the /?edit to /?results. Refresh with F5. Then delete /?results (F5) to get into HTML mode. Enter some data, send it, and then look at the results. The data might take a few seconds to get to the form - so take a deep breath and prepare to be amazed.

To explore the uses of forms look at some examples. Go to the red 'open' button. A number to tabs are visible. In the 'templates' tab is an 'about me' form. In the 'showcase' tab there are a number of forms, e.g. 'WorldQuiz', 'Persuasive', 'KingKong', You can save these to your area, then use them with your pupils. Remember to look in form results and adjust the option to what you want.

Can you see the button bar? Then you can't add data.
