Survey Tool Surveys and polls are a great way to cover more students in the yearbook and get them involved in the creation of the book. The polling tool on Yearbook Avenue makes it easy to create a survey, distribute it and create a graphic that shows the results.

Using the online polling tool, design a custom survey for any topic you choose. Send students online to take the survey with automated results tabulation or print it out and distribute in school. What a great way to get interactive content for the book. You might also consider keeping the survey results a secret until the book is delivered to build anticipation.
