Survey Monkey in the Classroom

I like to use survey monkey in the classroom.

For me it is a great way to get feedback, get input from students, make formal and informal assessments of student learning, and give students an opportunity to answer questions/voice an opinion without having to speak to the whole class.

I occasionally share answer with the class, especially in the older classes (a lot of time the students really want to see what other had to say--I typically don't show names, though).

I used it with third grade today to review/reinforce some of the terms we've been learning. And, sixth grade used it to come up with some really good rules for posting on the class website.

I've use it a little to touch base with faculty, and I really should be using it that way more than I currently do.
