- It must be EASY to use - Dummy proof you might say
- It must be my favorite price- FREE
Zoomerang for Surveys & Polls they have combined Survey Monkey and Zoomerang. Cant get any easier than this. This is what I use to do my annual surveys of volunteers. Works great, exports to EXCEL and makes nice Graphs.
Doodle for finding the right dates for a meeting
Sign up Genius This is my new favorite online tool. We need to schedule shifts in a shelter, or a event. The cool thing is it won't let you over-staff, always a hassle to call volunteers back and say "we have too many". The other cool thing is the volunteer can see who they will serve with.
DropBox I use this to share Powerpoints that are too big to mail. Its free, but if you send someone a document with this and they sign up to use it (So they can see the document) you get added free storage space. A great tool!
Form Builder - Can be used to build online forms. Pretty cool, but can't stay with free for long if you use it alot.
Free Quiz Maker I see some pretty cool uses for this, you could design your own tests on YOUR procedures. I will have to spend some time with it
Poll Everywhere - Saw this used at a conference, while the individual might get charges for SMS, it makes for a pretty slick presentation
While I am not advocating using either Bing or Google for serious translation, they are good for a quick peek at what someone is saying; but if its important get a real translator.
Bing Translate
Google Translate
And just a couple of cool websites thrown in for fun (cause I'm a fun guy)
HayStack - this is a real cool website to test your passwords on- interesting
Wordle- Beautiful words - You can paste any document (CEMP, Volunteer Policies, anything) and it will make a beautiful picture of the words.
