While customizing your own theme is not yet possible for Google forms, there is another way to have more options. Check out this website to find existing templates you can use for your own documents, forms, spreadsheets, etc. It will ask you to sign in to your Google account. Once you're signed in, this screen will appear. There are 4 tabs across the top. The first is 'Public Templates', this is where you will find hundreds of templates you can use. To sort through the hundreds, use the 'sort by' options on the left side of the screen, or specifically search for what you're looking for using the search bar at the top.
The second tab is labeled 'Roland-Story Schools Templates'. That appears for me because I am logged in with my Roland Story school email address. If I select that tab, all the templates created and uploaded by Roland Story users will be shown. The third tab is labeled 'Templates I've used'. Once you begin using templates, all the ones you use will be shown in this tab. If you ever want to go back and use the same one again, it can be easily accessed using this tab.
The last tab is labeled 'My Templates'. This is where you can upload your own template you've created. Why would you ever want to create your own template? Well, there are many reasons!
- You have a document you wish to use again (i.e. lesson plan, newsletter, etc.)
- You have a document you wish your students to have access to and edit (i.e. an assignment you set up that they must edit)
- You want to reuse the same form every week to assess your students.
- You give the same presentation every year with new information.
Even if you don't want to create your own template, try out the ones available to you! They are useful and there's many options.
