AnswerGarden is a free poll tool that allows viewers to write in their own answers. You are not required to sign up, though you can include your e-mail address with the poll and the site will e-mail you a link to your poll. You can embed your poll in various other online tools such as Blogger, Twitter and Wordpress.
This tool could be used as part of our blog to get feedback from our readers on a question we are wondering about. The questions would have to be worded so that answers could be given in one or two words, as the maximum number of characters allowed is 40. Similar to Wordle, each time the same answer is given, the word gets larger, so it is a great visual to show the most popular responses. When visiting our blog my students could use it to provide feedback on a topic we are exploring. While the number of characters is limiting, AnswerGarden is a very simple tool to use and add to our class' online presence.
Please feel free to answer the question below and see how simple AnswerGarden is to use as a responder.
