I have helped a wide variety of staff to develop online questionnaires to help them gather feedback quickly and easily from parents and staff. These have ranged from transition questionnaires to gain feedback from Year 7 parents to PSHE questionnaires to gage curriculum feedback from students.
I have also used surveymonkey.com in the classroom to allow students to collect Market Research information as part of the Business and ICT curriculum. Students have found this really useful and has also ensured students deal with real data and more of it. Many students post their questionnaires on Forums or email thems to their sample which acheives an excellent response and is far easier and quicker than asking individuals.

Launched this week the call to develop a Ripley TV and Radio stations. The vision is to have students running their own TV and Radio station by organising themselves and producing news articles about all things Ripley, from sport to articles about new staff and extra curricular activities. Initially, all media will be recorded and edited but eventually the opportunity to stream live using mogulus.com.

I have organised and led a number of Enterprise Days in two different schools in the most recent students were split into company teams ranging from BAE Systems to Sony. The activities were very practical but integrated the use of ICT in some of the tasks that allowed teams to pick up bonus marks.
Scenario
The Djibouti government after years of civil war and recent discovery of huge gas and oil reserves are ready to spend big to improve the infrasture of the country.
The 11 companies have been invited to discuss customer requirements, negotiate contracts, then produce the items on time and to the required specifications as outlined by the contract.
Successful day
The feedback from students was exceptionally positive with many enterprising skills being developed throughout the day. There was a big focus on feedback, communication, financial capability, risk taking and organisation.
