__**Survey Monkey**__

Survey Monkey is a site that allows people to create surveys very easily using all different kinds of questions, collect and send the data in several different ways, and analyzes the data for you. It is very self explanatory and easy to use and it is FREE!

View my tutorial below on how to create a survey and use the site.

media type="file" key="Tia-Survey Monkey Tool.mov" width="576" height="576" **Example:** I created a survey using the steps described above in my tutorial.

Then I sent it on email as described in the tutorial above and asked my summer school teachers to take it. I then pressed the analyze results button as described in the tutorial above and it gave me a list with each quetion and percentages.



I then created a chart by clicking on the Create Chart icon above the each questions response summary.



Administrators can use this to create surveys to send to parents, teachers, and students about new programs and to get their opinions on school issues. I used a survey on quia just like the surveys one can create on Survey Monkey for my Mission/Vision committee. We sent them to ALL the parents and teachers and received feedback, which we used to fix the mission/vision draft and create a final copy.
 * Uses:**

Teachers can use this tool to create end of unit surveys to see if students understood all the concepts and what concepts students still do not understand. This will help teachers with remediation. Teachers could also use it as an introduction to a topic in a K-W-L sort of way. Teachers could have students take an exit survey on them as a teacher, kind of like a teacher report card survey.

In math and science classes this would be a great tool to use for students to do their own survey and create their own graphs, since we teach about all the different types of graphs in those subject areas. I have my students do hand tallies for graphing, but this tool would actually be a lot of fun for them to do the tallies on the computer and then make the graphs from the response summaries.

Students can use the surveys for after-school clubs. The SCA at our school uses quia surveys for students to vote for SCA offices. We used it to survey the students for slogans for the coming school year.

I personally like Quia better, but Quia is NOT free! So for a site that is FREE it is pretty good. It is not as easy to use for those of you who have used quia before, but it is easy enough to use after playing around with it for a few minutes.
 * My Opinion:**

Snapzpro- I used this to create my tutorial [|www.surveymonkey.com] [|www.quia.com]- I discussed his and talked about examples I have used in the past.
