SurveyMonkey for Students

Students have many projects. Energy project for Science, Poem project in Language Arts, current events project in Social Studies, and a memorizing numbers in pi for a Math project. Not to mention Band and other elective classes.

One of the big things to learn from a project is how the topics learned in class occur and effect the world outside the classroom. Students will often be assigned to interview people, connect with local organizations, or connect with businesses. Students are suppose to get feedback.

SurveyMonkey allows students to get large amounts of feedback/information without the challenges of physically getting from one person to another. Once a survey is created, a link can be shared through email or a website to allow viewers to take it.

Students can easily analyze their findings and create simple reports to use in a class presentation, or add it as part of a detailed write up.
