I like survey Monkey because it generates charts which can be screen-captured and pasted into other documents
Here are instructions to a project where students had to create surveys and gather data using Survey Monkey, and then give PowerPoint presentations explaining the results of their research.
There are three questions,
What do teachers, students, and master learners mainly do?
Possible answers: Model, demonstrate, practice, or reflect?

This padlet was interesting. I posted it last Thursday and used it again on Friday.
When returned to it on Monday I found that several more comments had been posted over the weekend!

The question came from a participant who wanted to know more about:
He got a lot of answers :-)
Padlet is free for only ONE padlet. I suppose you can delete one and replace it as long as you have only one in your account at a time.
If you need more, it's $12 a month. It's the only tool in this wiki that is not free, and not very useful if you can't create them as needed.

A possible alternative to Padlet.
With Padlet you can only have one free Pad.
Wakelet has appeared to correct this problem.
It appears to allow users to start collections of links. Users can add contributors who can in turn add links.
You can try Bobbi's code here: https://wakelet.com/i/invite?code=9da913f

Etherpad is an open wiki where anyone can create a document online and give it's URL to others so they can see it and also write on it.
I created an Etherpad for this workshop. You can leave a message for everyone here if you like.
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Workshops2020
Anyone can create a NEW etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/
Try it, give your etherpad a name (your name perhaps?) and hit OK
If you create your own etherpad and write something to share with the workshop there,
leave your name and the URL of YOUR Etherpad at the link above
Etherpad is available to ANYONE with the link. There is no password.
It's a wiki, so you can recover a previous state, but none of your users are credentialled.
Yo!Teach emerged from http://palms.polyu.edu.hk/ last year to replace the loss of Today's Meet.
If you want a more secure semi-credentialled environment for class use, you can set a password on Yo!Teach
Try YoTeach! to ask backchannel questions
At that link, use the password 2020 but don't tell anybody; it's a secret password ;-)
During class times or online meetings, if you are having a problem, you can post a message in Yo!Teach and,
The idea is to use it concurrently with live events
