= PollDaddy = === Poll Daddy is a free, Web-based poll and survey creation program. It can be found at [] To create a free account, you need a valid email address and then you will be asked to create a password.===

PollDaddy creates free surveys and polls for websites,blogs and social networks. You can find out what your students are thinking by creating your surveys and polls using one of their custom templates or by creating your own. There are 19 poll templates and 6 survey templates. You can then use the in-depth reporting engine to aggregate, print and export your results.

You can copy an existing poll, as well as create RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds as results from your poll happen. Now you can see each response in full as it comes in through your RSS reader. A RSS reader would be a blog or you can create a free reader in google reader.

You will need to go to the ‘Survey Overview’ page and click on the ‘Enable RSS Feed’ button to get access to a feed for that survey. The URL you will get for your feed will be encrypted so that no one will be able to guess it, but the feed will technically be public once you enable it. So if you were to share your feed URL with someone else they would be able to see all of your survey responses as they come in. So if you do enable a feed for your survey please take care of it. Each feed will show the previous 20 responses for any given survey and display them in HTML.

In ClassTools.net you can create free, interactive flash games for your blog, wiki or website. Using the Animated Book Generator, I created a virtual "how-to" book on using another great Web 2.0 Tool, "PollDaddy". Use this virtual book and copy/paste text from a book your class is reading, create a "how-to" on a topic you are discussing in class, or better yet, have your students write their own books and then embed to your blog using the HTML section of your post!

This first poll could be used by any classroom teacher at the beginning of school to learn the areas of interest of his/her students. Imagine how you could use the information gained by this information to differentiate instruction in your classroom!

This poll could also be used by any classroom teacher to learn how his/her students like to express what they know. I used a different poll style. You can also embed pictures next to each poll for younger students.

To create a survey, you enter a Survey Title, a start message (using their example or creating your own), a finish message, a template design (6 to choose from), language option, date to close the survey, and response allowance. You then drag areas from the left to your new page and edit within each area to create a customized survey.

This survey will access the areas of interest for my students as well.
