This was a pretty easy task to create. The website is very user friendly and the layouts are very self-explanatory. The results are easily viewed and compiled into simple graphs for you to compare. Overall, I feel this is a great way to measure opinions and experiences with just a few simple questions. My survey was to uncover how our future teachers saw technology use in their classroom as of today.
My results thus far: Of the 6 people who took the survey, 33% saw technology use in the classroom a distraction for the teacher. This could possibly be attributed to the fact that 66% felt they had "somewhat" received enough technology education to utilize it effectively in the classroom. Our future teachers definitely plan to use technology in their classrooms mostly in communication to parents, recording performance and administrative classroom tasks, and to create visual presentations. 66% have received no prior technology training prior to this class.
Of the applications listed in the survey, 66% were very comfortable and experienced with word processing, 50% felt somewhat comfortable with presentation software, while spreadsheets and internet software left lots of room for learning improvement.
The technology reported most valuable in the classroom was the Smartboard. Most felt it had the most flexibility and student/teacher interaction. Although computers will be ongoing and evolving tool, there are many obstacles that may limit its use, such as not enough computers or out of date computers and software were among the concerns of 66% along with insufficient technology support.
