This week I am looking at how to analyze the results of a survey. I am finding that Survey Monkey seems to have some sophisticated tools, but they appear to require an upgrade (which I'm not willing to do...just yet!). But I was able to cut and paste the results of last week's post:

In addition to the above charts, I am also able to see the IP address for each response, which could be useful if I knew how to "track" IP addresses. I intend to set up a substantially larger survey to use with my classroom, but that won't happen until later this week. Hopefully, though, the design, implementation and evaluation of a "real" survey with over 100 respondents will push me to understand the potential with this tool.
I think, given the reading we had this 2nd week, I'll ask my 7th graders about their Internet use. Any suggestions for questions to pose??
It looks like, your blog on surveymonkey is going to be based on your first hand experience and it is going to be exciting. As a teacher, how much it is going to be useful for surveying a class? If one needs a data of a wider range of students such as all students in a state, then It could be neat tool? Since I teach small classes, It may not be economical to subscribe it.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving my students until tonight to respond to their classroom surveys (I posted two), but I think the benefits of the survey is that it, hopefully, will show a trend within a group and it allows students to participate anonymously. I have a total of 65 7th graders, but the blog at my school is open to all 230 7th graders. I'll let you know how it goes!
DeleteI am looking forward to seeing the results from your 7th graders on their Internet use! I know that the younger generations tend to depend on electronics and technology such as the internet significantly more than the older generations. With this being said I am very eager to see the responses you get from your new Survey Monkey. I also like that you are doing live experiments for your blog. I think this is a great way to enhance your audience knowledge of the tool as well as go through the process with you. Cant wait for the next blog !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brianna. I am definitely trying to meet my students where they are with technology. It is outside of my comfort zone, but I think they are responding really well. My challenge is to make sure that my class blog & website is enticing enough to keep them coming without making it a requirement.
DeleteAmy, That is very neat that it can spit out the data like that and give it to you through a graph. I feel this is going to come in handy when you use it for your 7th grade class. What type of topics are you going to be surveying them about? I would be curious to see what type of activities they use the internet for and if any of them use it for educational purposes.
