Top 10 Digital Teacher Forms

With digital teacher forms, gather student and classroom data in real-time – no paperwork required!

Digital teacher forms allow educators and students to enter information into forms on phones and tablets. These digital teacher forms can look exactly like your existing forms, or completely new version, making it easy to adhere to school or district guidelines.

Your mobile forms can be equipped with simple logic and data capture rules, allowing teachers to make form fields Required, add Instant Calculations, instantly populate fields with information, and so much more. You can even add new data types to your forms, like Image fields, GPS & Maps, Signature fields, and Sketches.

Creating your digital teacher forms is easy: simply upload your form, drag-and-drop ‘smart’ fields in the GoFormz Template Editor, add logic or automatic tasks, and start filling out your forms on phones, tablets, and computers. So where should you get started? Check out the ten most popular digital teacher forms, and click here to try GoFormz for free:

Field Trip Request Form
Easily submit potential field trip details for review with the digital Field Trip Request form. With Drop Down menus, users can select a teacher’s name and instantly populate corresponding fields with their information. For example, if a teacher were to select their own name, their department and contact information could be instantly filled within their respective fields. Once submitted, a copy of your Field Trip Request form can be automatically emailed to a principal, or another contact input into your form (e.g. a classroom aid or another teacher planning to attend the field trip).

Permission Slips
Relying on students to deliver and return critical documents can be difficult. Paper forms are often lost in transit, damaged in backpacks, or completed incorrectly. Fortunately, with digital teacher forms, these challenges can be easily eliminated – drastically simplifying the collection of critical information and completion of tasks. Digital Permission Slips empower teachers to rapidly distribute field trip details and collect parent/guardian consent, without needing to rely on students.

Using the GoFormz Public Forms feature, a link to your digital Permission Slip can be emailed to parents, allowing them to digitally complete and sign directly from their computer or device (no GoFormz login required!). Once submitted, Permission Slips can be immediately viewed and processed – you can even monitor the number of Permission Slip permissions in real-time.

With easy to use Text and Number fields, parents can easily enter their contact information, additional emergency contact information, as well as any allergies or health concerns. With Checkboxes and Conditional Logic, when a parent selects a Checkbox signifying they are interested in chaperoning, additional fields for their vehicle information, hours available, and more can be made Visible.

Incident Reports
When a behavioral incident occurs in the classroom, paperwork is the last thing teachers have time for. With digital Incident Reports, teachers can easily enter a student’s information, incident details, and more. Digital Incident Reports can be generated pre-filled with Date and Time details, and once submitted, a copy of the completed form can be instantly routed to the principal and the student’s parents/guardians. Incident Reports can even include Image fields, to capture any damage or pertinent visual details. With real-time access collected data, school administrators can easily monitor classroom behavior trends and work with teachers to address obstacles.

Individualized Education Programs (IEP)
Using digital teacher forms to complete Individual Education Programs allows for streamlined collaboration between educators, administrators, and parent/guardians. IEPs outline a child’s unique special education program, designed to meet their specific needs, detailing their current educational performance, social skills and behavior, annual goals and progress, and necessary services.

Digital IEPs can be equipped with digital Signatures, allowing for educators and parental consent to plan details. Completed IEP forms can be automatically Tagged with a student’s name, uploaded to other business applications (like Google Drive and Box), effortlessly reported on, or used to update connected databases. Digital teacher forms can even be connected to analytics dashboards, allowing educators to monitor student progress in real-time.

Student Surveys
Gather student feedback with digital Student Surveys. With fields like Likert Scales, allow students to easily provide precise responses regarding their classroom comfort, educational needs, and more. Student responses can be used to update spreadsheets, dashboards, and databases, allowing teachers to make informed decisions based on gathered feedback.

Online Quizzes & Homework Submissions
Leverage the Public Forms feature to share links to online quizzes and homework with students anywhere. Add expiration dates to your Public Forms, so that assignments can only be completed within a defined time period. Submitted forms are instantly available for review.

Sign Up Sheets
Simplify the sign-ups for extracurricular and other school activities with the digital Sign Up Sheet. Dynamically route completed Sign Up Sheets to the email address entered within the registrant’s form, upload completed forms to connected business applications, and instantly Tag forms with a registrant’s name. The Public Forms feature can even be used to share Sign Up Sheets with parents and other prospective registrants.

Effortlessly record student volunteer hours with the Volunteer Hour Log. With Automatic Calculations, hour totals are always accurate. Using digital Signatures, volunteer supervisors can authorize student logs, and even receive an emailed copy upon completion.
