The Emerging Technology that I chose for my posting this time, was a survey tool known as Survey Monkey. Survey Monkey is a commonly used program in both schools and businesses all around the world today. Like other survey tools available, Survey Monkey is very easy to use and understand, as I was able to set up my survey in less than 5 minutes. It was a lot of fun going through the different steps in setting up my survey, because I have completed a lot of surveys myself for both friends and professors. Friends of mine have used Survey Monkey for their classes, and post them to Facebook so they can get responses from many different sources and close friends. My professors have used it as a way to better the class. Like an end of the semester survey taken in every class, I think it would be much easier if the teacher were to simply set up a survey online. The steps that I took in making my survey were extremely simple. The website does a great job of laying everything out there for people who are new to using the program. It is a very easy to use system and my first time experience was a lot of fun. I would encourage anyone to use the Survey Monkey program over any other program, simply because it is so easy to use.
I have used this website before, and I loved it. I am glad someone other than me knows about it because it is a really neat and easy tool to use. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI've used Survey Monkey in SAPB, it's great when you are trying to get ahold of a lot of different students. I agree that professors should use it for end of the course surveys too.
ReplyDeleteCameron-
ReplyDeleteNice topic choice!
Survey Monkey is awesome and like you said, really simple. I've also used it before and found it really helpful.
I also like that you picked something other than picnik (unlike almost everyone else in our class. Haha)

Cam,
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for a topic. Surveymonkey.com is a great tool. It could also be used to make online quizzes for the classroom. Good post!
