Experimenting with forms - especially Google forms

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just love all the different features of Slideshare. Last week I explored adding YouTube videos to Slideshare. Today was my day with experimenting with the Slideshare <i>playlist widget</i>.  I got the idea from <a href="http://web2teachingtools.wikispaces.com/SlideShare">http://web2teachingtools.wikispaces.com/SlideShare</a></span><span style="font-size: small;">. First of all I created my three PowerPoints about creating online forms. I uploaded those to Slideshare:</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1) Google forms – so easy to create</span></b><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b> </div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This form is definitely my favourite. I can’t believe that Google can give us so many superb programmes FREE. What I especially like about Google forms is that they automatically create their own collection site for you to review the results.</span> </div><div id="__ss_11738513" style="width: 425px;"><span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 12px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/google-forms-so-easy-to-use" target="_blank" title="Google forms - so easy to use">Google forms - so easy to use</a></span> <iframe frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/11738513" width="425"></iframe> <br /><div style="padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint" target="_blank">PowerPoint</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">fionabeal</a> </div></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">2) Create an Email Me form</span></b></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div id="__ss_11738842" style="width: 425px;"><span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 12px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/email-me-form" target="_blank" title="Email Me Form">Email Me Form</a></span> <iframe frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/11738842" width="425"></iframe> <br /><div style="padding: 5px 0 12px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint" target="_blank">PowerPoint</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">fionabeal</a> </div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3) Have you tried Survey Monkey for creating surveys?</span></b></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div id="__ss_11739316" style="width: 425px;"><span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 12px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/use-survey-monkey-to-create-surveys" target="_blank" title="Use Survey Monkey to create surveys">Use Survey Monkey to create surveys</a></span> <iframe frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/11739316" width="425"></iframe> <br /><div style="padding: 5px 0 12px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint" target="_blank">PowerPoint</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">fionabeal</a> </div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next step was to upload these to Slideshare. Once that was done I had to make each one a ‘favourite’ by clicking on the presentation to view it and then clicking on ‘Favourites’.Now it was time to experiment with the playlist widget. <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/widgets/playlist">http://www.slideshare.net/widgets/playlist. </a>This took me to a page where I could arrange it all.</span></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRffOGk2xv0Z1hITuci1Hq5Y8FoD775Hwpmc1PfUhb98UIAgwJP0s2l6npPxrSze_OXrd02dA02y2RwWaSJgPI9Pa5OtnDt7cLoTxdkgNVzT2NKBUWolTYjj0Ruv5LUggICuZ_FA6kj2c/s1600-h/image%25255B15%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhevHUR4P1JuKH1X0gyy6E1SmmZR38KK8KpsGPjT2gY6Y-zUCwanSJcrpac0NYUELhzXJGMdUIa5waRXyVcXvkquBYad1rmKbvWzwFixUPoqjFA32dwSbXJqG8xv1bhqQBIxSPfNIY4K2I/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a><br /><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The only problem is that if I try to make this playlist Slideshare less wide so that it fits in to the blog using Firefox or Internet Explorer as a browser, it doesn't work! So I have omitted putting it here apart from the screenshot.</span></div></div><br />This idea of a playlist originated from looking at Judi Barrett's playlist where she created a whole series of lessons this way:  <a href="http://web2teachingtools.wikispaces.com/SlideShare">http://web2teachingtools.wikispaces.com/SlideShare</a> </div>
