Google Forms is a powerful tool that can be used to collect data from a variety of sources. One of the most useful features of Google Forms is the ability to set up email notifications.

One of the latest updates for Google Forms is a new question type. You can now set up a question and allow people to upload files through the form. What is nice about this question type, is that Google tries to organize these uploaded files for you. You will want to create a folder for your form and then create your form inside that folder. Once you select the File Upload question a folder is made that will hold those files. If you have multiple File Upload questions there will be a folder created for each question inside that Response folder for the files. The other nice thing that happens is the student's name is added to the uploaded file. Very similar to what happens in Google Classroom when an assignment is created and the "make a copy of each student" option. The video below shows you how the new File Upload question type works.

Since forms are saved in the Google Drive, the assumption was that forms could be attached to assignments just like docs, slides or sheets could be. That was not the case....until today. With today's update, teachers can now directly attach a Google Form to an assignment instead of linking to the assignment. The video below show what it looks like.
