I love polleverywhere.com! I wrote my needs assessment tools portion of my paper in a little under an hour because I thankfully had compiled prior info last year for my research paper. I used polleverywhere.com to survey my students in class about their fears/weakness in Spanish. They loved using their phones in class to take the survey....
I also had used my PLN on edmodo.com to survey other Spanish teachers to find out their findings on sounds that L2 students struggle with. I got a lot of responses and great feedback as well.
My third component of my tools was also gathering actual speaking tasks from the students. I used Google voice, voki.com and PowerPoint with microphone audio recording to gather all of my data. That data was probably the biggest help to realize the gap in pronunciation for L2 learners.
I hope I can organize my data, that is a weakness for me!!!!

Very cool skeleton. Thanks for detailing you tools. This makes it more clear what I need to think about.
