Survey

Above is a little survey I created with Google Forms.  This was an interesting exercise.  As first I had no idea of what to survey and then I started to prepare for my Veteran's Upward Bound course.  An obviously the idea hit.  I created a survey to give to my veterans on the first day of class.  I asked for a little background information and some personal information.  I usually ask for this information.  Some I have them write down, some is required by the class and other information I jsut usually hold conversations with the group and find that information out.

I completed my survey and published it to my blog.  I thought about were to put the survey so everyone in the class would have access and found it easiest to publish the survey before writing the blog.  Lucky me, I had two students show up for class tonight.  So I now have results for my survey.

I found this to be an interesting exercise.  I do see uses for forms in the classroom.  I just wish the forms were more robust, so I could do more math quizzes etc., but this is for free so we will just go with it.  There are plenty of ways to apply this application in the classroom - first day of school survey, syllabus survey, parental notifications, etc.

As always to need to see how this exercise fits with the ISTE-NETS-T standards.  Well, obviously it fits with Standard 2, our little design and develop expericencs and assessments.  It is an assessment tool, and a survey tool.  We can do all sorts of learning with surveying people and we can create online tests until we drop.

Easy to use. Easy to understand, Google Forms.
