Data+Analysis

==Getting to know your students is a key part of being a successful teacher! Using surveys and polls is a great way to get a lot of information about your students. They are also a good tool for pre-assessment and figuring out how much your students already know about a topic. Poll Everywhere is a website that allows you to ask a question and the students can respond through a text message. This is a fun and easy way to gather information from your students or from their parents. Survey Monkey is a website that allows you to make complete surveys that you can give your students. It has a variety of different formats to ask the questions in. This is a great way to find out a lot of information at once. ==

==Another great tool the a Classroom Performance System or a CPS. Each student is given a key pad which allows them to answer multiple choice questions from a computer. This is a unique way to test students knowledge. This would be a fun way to review before a test or you could also give a test this way. The teacher can see a report of which questions were missed so that she/he can gauge what needs more work. ==
