You ask the students a set of questions about a topic where you need to gather feedback or thoughts from the students. The Survery tool allows you to create multiple survey questions like multiple choice, rating scales, Likert scales, Open-ended questions and Ranking questions.
Once the students answer these questions (which you can make each question compulsory or optional for them to answer), they can see their responses for all questions. They might opt to re-do the questions as well.
If you allow students to see the results of all the answers from other students, only after the student has answer the question, the student is able to see all other students' results in charts.
This will allow students to compare their answers to other students.
As a teacher, you can export the students' survey answers at any time in MS Excel format which then you can use to import in other sophisticated statistical analysis software like SPSS or R.
