ProProfs Poll Maker

What do you like best?

Proprofs Poll Maker is an excellent tool for creating and sending simple polls. It may not be as advanced or have as many options as TypeForm, Survey Monkey, or even Google Forms, but it's simple and straight to the point. I especially enjoy the option to create personality quizzes (as a French teacher, I find this particularly engaging if I can relate to French content).

What do you dislike?

The only thing that "dislike" (and I hesitate to use that word) is that there are only three options for creating polls on this platform: 1) a simple, one-question poll; 2) a quiz; and 3) a longer form survey. That's not really something I dislike per se, but it's just not as varied as other platforms can be. However, if you're going for a simple, straightforward poll maker, this is the one to use! Emphasis on straightforward!

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Definitely stick to the free version first, before considering or moving towards the paid subscriptions; there is already quite a bit that is useful and effective even with just the free activities/games/quizzes/formatives.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

ProProfs is great for any sort of formal or informal formative assessments with my students. It can also be used to survey student satisfaction after one of my conversation classes (I teach French to adults) or a workshop, so that I know what and how to change in my presentations to make them more inclusive, effective, or engaging.
