Using Survey Monkey Globally
This would be a GREAT tool for my students to use and get involved in. They could create their own surveys and questions about practically anything. Then, they could each ask their pen pals using epals to get the survey filled out. The pen pals could answer and even get their friends to respond as well. The class could then do a project as a whole, comparing and contrasting answers from different students and different parts of the world. I think that this would help support global awareness and lessen the ignorance of some of my students by showing them how similiar they really are to students around the world.

Julie,
Many times teachers forget that SurveyMonkey can be used by students as well as teachers. I think that is one of the best uses of the tool for learning language in an authentic manner. I hope you have the opportunity to have your students create some surveys for students in other countries, or, for starters, in other classes.

That's right! I can have my students create surveys for almost anything...hmmm..interesting..
Zoomerang is a great survey service. They have free accounts and also offer great discounts to educators/non-profits. I recommend a visit to their Education Survey Resource Center, it is very helpful with lots of tips and suggestions.
