Turn Your Docs into Forms and Slides

Posted on January 18, 2022April 12, 2022 by Alice Keeler

While I have been known to be cheeky and say “Do not use Google Docs™ I of course use Google Docs™. Brainstorming a list of what I want is easiest with Google Docs. I can get my idea down, press Enter for the next line, and keep going. Highlight text and use Control X to cut the text. Control V to paste it in a new location. Very efficient.

But it is boring.

Turn your Google Doc into a Google Form

Typing out questions for a Form (or Slides) is definitely faster in a Google Doc, but copying and pasting the questions into a Google Form is not fun. I have created the Add-on Document Outline by Schoolytics to help make this much faster. This Add-on (coded by Alice Keeler) collects NO user data. NO PII.

Use Headings

The key to using Document Outline by Alice Keeler is to use headings in your Google Doc. Each heading becomes a new question in a Google Form. If you are wanting a Google Slides™, each heading becomes a new slide. Notice in the toolbar the default for the text you type in a Google Doc is “Normal text.” Instead, switch to Heading 1. Text that is left as normal text will be added as the hint text in a Form or added to the speaker notes in a Google Slides.

Notice also, on the left of your Google Doc the document outline is populated with your headings. If you do not see the Document Outline, click on the View menu.

What is Schoolytics?

I am a part-time high school math teacher and a part-time developer for Schoolytics. What I do for Schoolytics is really what I did before I worked for Schoolytics. I listen to teachers for pain points with using Google Apps and create solutions.

Schoolytics helps you to use Google Classroom better. (Soon other platforms will be available on Schoolytics.com). I can quickly see what has been turned in and when. ACROSS CLASSES! I can select all of my periods of Geometry and see what Geometry assignments were submitted. All periods merged together. The date, class, and student filters helps me to quickly find the information I need to grade faster and communicate better with parents. I love the “Create progress reports” feature that exports the progress report to Google Docs that I can customize and share with the student, counselor, or guardian. Reusing assignments in Google Classroom is a pain. Schoolytics lets you SEARCH for assignments across classes, including archived classes. I can read the entire description before I decide to reuse the assignment. This saves me so much time.
