3-Professional+Development+and+Adult+Learning

Many of the other tools cited in the two other categories can also be used in adult learning contexts. The e-learning platforms we also discussed would also be included in this category.

=__[|Zoomerang]__= Zoomerang works in conjunction with Survey Monkey and has a free version. While this can be used for teachers to survey students for special projects or for students to provide feedback for teachers, etc. it also has a wide variety of possible uses within schools. At any point where data needs to be collected from groups in order to get opinions, preferences, etc. Zoomerang could probably come in handy. In terms of professional development, this could help us to find out what types of workshops would be most useful to meet our community's needs, etc. Interesting tool... (Jen Bean)

** [|Poll Everywhere] **
=== Poll Everywhere is a text message polling and audience response system. It is simple enough for anyone to use and flexible enough for a wide range of scenarios to interact with audiences and collect data instantly. Most of us are addicted to checking our phone and this 2.0 presentation tool allows participants to vote, share, and ask questions. Polls instantly download into easy to read graphs right into your PowerPoint or other software. This is very fun way for a presenter to engage with their audience. (T.Core) ===
