SurveyMonkey in the Classroom

Assessment is a part of education. No matter how much students dislike taking different assessments, or how bad teachers despise giving different assessments, it's become a necessary evil. The least we can do is make them simple and easy, and with great purpose.

SurveyMonkey is a simple and easy tool that helps users create smart. professional looking surveys. It takes  minutes and only a few clicks and your survey is online for anyone to take. Email the link or post to your website and you can view the answers in real time, or print a report when finished.

Teachers can use SurveyMonkey to gather information and opinion on just about any topic or content area. Whether you teach Math and want to give a quick quiz, Social Studies and want to know what current event is being talked about most often, Science and want to know which parents can volunteer in the classroom, or Language Arts and have students vote on the novel they prefer to read next.

Students can use SurveyMonkey for projects, extra-curricular activities, or student government. Post a link on the school website, on a poster in the hallways, or around town. Collect your data and analyze everything easily.

Administrators can use SurveyMonkey to poll students about special event preferences, teachers on professional development participation, or parents on volunteer scheduling. Create surveys and get answers fast.
