Tool Usability Survey

Thanks for participating in the "Communicating Place" research project. To understand how other students can best use these tools, we want to find out how you used them. Once you have compiled the data you collected with these tools, we will ask how you were able to use the information.

We'd like copies of your rough data today, and later, a copy of the final presentation for which you used the data.
