Monkey Business

survey-monkey_32759

Survey Monkey is a site where you can set up free surveys for up to 100 respondents.  I have used this to get parental or staff feedback (e.g. after a trip or training session).  However, I realised I could also use it as an alternative way to practise key questions with my GCSE group.  I set up a “survey” in which each question was one of those I wanted to practise and chose a textbox as the question type.  Students were able to work at their own pace, answering the questions.  The professional layout of the survey encouraged them to take it seriously.
