This week in our digital learning journey we are exploring surveying tools. Surveys are a great way to get feedback from others. They are a quick tool that can help a teacher gain some perspective into how his/ her students are responding to the lessons and daily activities presented in the classroom. A big part of teaching is examining the material presented and evaluating not only the outcome of the lesson but the overall experience. The teacher must ask themselves what went well with the lesson and what did not. Evaluation is important as it makes for effective learning. Surveying students is one way to evaluate learning needs and outcomes. A great thing about the use of surveying tools is that the student can be kept anonymous therefore, the feedback is likely to be more truthful.
There are many online surveying tools that are free and easy to use. This week I chose to explore survey gizmo. Survey Gizmo is a very easy tool to navigate. You simply input you email and create a password to access the free surveying tool. From there you create your survey. There is an option to upgrade to a more sophisticated version of the software, but the free version is just fine for the basics of surveying. You are able to choose from various styles of questions like multiple choice, text etc. There are prompts along the way within the creation of the survey that make this an easy tool to use.
The survey that I have created is about teaching aspirations. I am alway curious to know what aspiring teachers intend on teaching after they have graduated, therefore, I have created this quick 3 question survey. SO if you are an aspiring teacher, busy student, and you are awake studying I would love to read your answers!!!!!!
