Part of our work as teachers and educators involves organizing educational events and activities that require a sign-up process. Whether you are scheduling your next field trip with your students and need parents permission, fundraising for a small-scale event in class or school, organizing a volunteering event in school…etc sign-up sheets are absolutely an integral element in your organizational process for these events. There are actually several web tools you can use to easily create a sign-up sheet some of our favourites are listed below. We are also sharing with you some very good resources where you can access and download already made sign-up templates and sheets.
A-Tools for creating sign-up sheets
1- Google Forms
This is the one we recommend the most. Besides being completely free, Google Forms is very easy and simple to use. You can use it to create a wide variety of forms and best of all , your forms are hosted in the cloud meaning you can access them anywhere you go and across different devices. Check out these tutorials to learn more about Google Forms.
2- SignUp Genius
SignUp Genius is a great web tool that allows you to easily create sign-up sheets and coordinate group projects online. To use this web tool you need to open an account with them which is completely free. Once logged in, you can select a template or theme for your sign-up sheet and enter the dates/times and slots you need. When you are done with the customization of your sign-up sheet you can then invite group members using either email invitations or through a generated link.
