Survey

Please click below to take my survey. Your feedback will give me help in improving my teaching!

Today we learned how to create surveys through Google Docs. It was surprisingly simple! There were several forms you could pose questions as such as text, paragraph, scales, grids, and multiple choice. The different forms of questions can give me as a teacher all sorts of feedback. We were able to create the questions and either email it to classmates, or parents when we are actually teaching, or post it on our blog as a link. Posting it on my blog seemed more convenient for me and gives parents an opportunity to take it if they choose to.

We learned about Webquest by trying out one of the lessons available. Our lesson was called Nevada's State Insect. Each of us helped decide on a state insect for Nevada. We had to keep in mind the different symbols of Nevada in deciding on an insect. In this activity it would help students think about symbols and what they mean. I think this is a great way to get students engaged in learning. Webquest leads student's learning by giving them a framework of questions to answer instead of giving students a lecture of information to memorize.
