We use SurveyMonkey all the time. It is $200 a year for unlimited
surveys, unlimited responses, etc. (If you have less than 100 responses
per survey, you can use the free version.)
The data is easy to read from the surveymonkey site itself, and it is
also really easy to download into Excel or Access.
The advantages of this:
1. It is online already, so no worrying about how do I get the survey I
created on my server available to all my parents.=20
2. It is stored on the Surveymonkey site, so no worries about losing
data. (You would store the downloaded data, but you could always go
back to Surveymonkey and re-download as needed.)
3. You can use Surveymonkey for lots of things even with the students
and once you have it. I will create a survey. Our kids will take it,
and now we have "live" data to play with for graphing, for learning
Excel, and for great discussions. We use it for quick surveys of
teachers like what type of sandwich do you want at the next inservice. =20

Subject: Showing my ignorance
Ok, I know I'm showing my stupidity, so I apologize. Please don't
berate me for it :)
I've been asked to find a way for us to collect a form that is filled
out and returned electronically. It's our lunch menu sign up. We get
it in pdf form and have been emailing to parents. Now we'd like to go
to the next level and have parents fill it out and return it by email
where we compile the orders for both the vendor and billing purposes.
We keep this data in an Access DB.
Now, I know Adobe will do the form creation, but I'm not very familiar
with Adobe so I don't really know how to collect and compile the data.
I can create the form no problem. I don't know that I like the cost of
Adobe, though.
Does anyone use Adobe frequently enough to walk me through what to do?
Is there another option besides Adobe to do this task?
Thanks,
Bernadette
