Title: Adjusting Time Stamps in Google Forms: A Quick Fix for Accuracy

Hi everyone, Brad here with a quick tip about the new Google Forms!

Recently, my friend Layla discovered an issue with the time stamps when linking Google Forms to a spreadsheet. If you're noticing that the time stamps in your form responses seem a little off, there's an easy fix to ensure accuracy.

In my district, I recommend taking the following steps to adjust the time settings correctly:

  1. Open your linked Google Sheet.
  2. Go to File > Settings.
  3. Look for the "Time zone" section.
  4. Depending on your location, update the setting accordingly. If you're on the East Coast, make sure it’s set to Eastern Time.

Once you've made this adjustment, your Google Forms and linked Sheets will reflect the correct time going forward. The best part? You only need to do this once, and it will apply to all future responses.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks for tuning in, and happy form-making!

Take care,
Brad
