Just wanted to make everyone, who may not be, aware of a great on line survey form I found and used recently (although after the fact!)...
WWW.surveymonkey.com
We always do a survey after our events. The survey's are normally in a paper format. This year, after the paper survey went home I was told about this site. To see how it works I input all the information from the paper survey into different survey's, that I created, on the site. It worked beautifully.
Depending on the number of results you are seeking and the format you want it in the cost goes from free to $200 a year. When I did it I broke the paper survey into different sections so each survey was free (under 10 questions) and could accept up to 100 responses per survey (also on the free survey). I couldn't print out the "reports" with the free process but I was able to see them, on line, in a bar graph format and print the entire web page. Not great but it certainly helped to clarify the results from the 80+ pieces of paper I had been trying to sort through. Had I been willing to invest $20 for the month the results would have been output differently in an assortment of graph types, etc.
I will certainly be using this site for future survey's since I can link it directly to our website and it formulates everything! Plus, I can include a note in the newsletter encouraging parents to do it and have the teachers include notes on their newsletters as well to help promote it. So, while I may end up paying $20 for the month for some surveys, it would save me 2 reams of paper and the time to sort through the answers which is WELL worth it, at least for me! And anything that can save time, money and resources I'm all for!
