More Great Ideas from the Research:

Education is definitely an area where one could use JotForm. For example, a teacher in a special education classroom could use this site to get RSVP cards for a party. In their lives, the students will either receive an invitation or send one during some point of their life; so, it is very important that the students understand how they work. It will give the students practice for what will occur in the real world. Also, a student or a parent could use the form that creates calendars.

Another use for Jotform is that a university could use the form for a survey. Many colleges and universities ask the students to complete surveys on their TA’s and professors. The school could use the survey form from this company to do exactly this.

A real life example of how Jotform is used in an education setting is in the School District of Palm Beach County. On the Jotform website, users were asked to identify how they are using Jotform and this is what they said.

They also had interesting thoughts on Jotform’s Educational Application in South Korea.

While doing a team project; choosing a subject, assigning group roles, and sharing ideas can all be done with input from all team members. This method is wisely used in the U.S. to contribute to a team project. Also during the project, bulletin boards are commonly used, but this option is limited to just attaching a document. By using Jotform, a user can attach important documents as well as get feedback.

Jotform is convenient for survey areas such as learning satisfaction and achievement. It is also convenient for survey activity on a website for students to gather information. Using Jotform saves paper and sharing ideas becomes more convenient.

Teachers can arrange content that they have taught and make a practice test for students to check what they have learned. By using Jotform, it is easy to assess students’ achievements.

Jotform can gather a variety of information about students; for example: official evaluation, students’ attitude, teacher’s comments or students’ weaknesses, etc.
