Surveys

=Surveys=

There was a time when surveys or scheduling meetings involved a lot of phone calls, emails, paper and frustration. Now there are many free tools available that are easy to use for both the creator and the participants. You will explore two of these: Survey Monkey and Doodle.



Assignment #1

 * 1) Create a free account with Survey Monkey.
 * 2) Review the video tutorial on Getting Started with Survey Monkey (left sidebar of home page). Sue also has a hard copy of a Survey Monkey tutorial if you would like to borrow it for reference.
 * 3) Create/design a new survey asking at least 2 different types of questions. Your survey should have no more than 5 questions in total.
 * 4) In the Collect Responses tab create a link to send in an email message.
 * 5) Send this link via Google Wave email to members of this class (and others if you wish).

 * 7) Discuss this experience in your blog.
