ILP Participation -- Lynda.com tutorial

For my second ILP, I again chose to watch a Lynda.com tutorial because I found that resource to be really helpful the first time and wanted more experience. This time, I chose to watch a video on Google Forms because I have some prior experience with creating surveys for some political science classes and wanted to learn more about how to control and use them. The video was essentially an introduction to creating a form on Google Forms and collecting and analyzing that data later. I had no specific experience with Google Forms since my prior poli sci work has been with Qualtrics and it was really fascinating seeing all the options one was presented with by Google. Before watching the tutorial, I had no idea that it could be used to create in-depth surveys as well as applications and even tests and quizzes. I can appreciate the versatility of Forms as well as the way it is integrated into the rest of Google's products. I especially appreciated how the tool seems very user-friendly and is designed in a way that encourages anyone to become familiar with it after just a short period of use.

Included below are screenshots of the tutorial at various points throughout the video. Just like last time, I chose to write my notes by hand rather than using the built-in note taker because I find information easier to retain that way. That being said, if I was a teacher using Lynda.com at regular intervals, I probably would consider saving my notes to the note tab because they are automatically synced to your Google Drive.
