Technology Use Survey Here’s my survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6CVL7GC Since it’s impossible to get a good reading right now, I am going to summarize where I think our staff is and then line it up when I get their responses, possibly in the fall! 1. What is your feeling about the upcoming ISTE standards implementation? I put off thinking about it until I was forced to. I don’t know what this is, I’m not sure how to respond but I think we will get on the same page 2. Indicated how often you use the following hardware resources in your classroom: Most teams will say they want SMART Boards, they use the lab, the carts, the doc viewers…those are almost always checked out so I think most people think they use them adequately 3. Indicate how often you use the following software in your classroom: Most teams, (if they’re honest) will just say Word, some will include Excel, a few will include Kidspiration 4. From the previous lists, indicate three that you are willing to learn more about implementing into your classroom. I’m not sure here, most people will indicate something but I’m not sure they’ll be into this question 5. Please list technology related resources that you DO NOT HAVE NOW but would like to use in your job. Another mystery to me! I’m hoping to get some good responses here! Maybe they will say clickers 6. How would you prefer technology training to take place? All I know is most people will say NOT our librarian-lots of drama there 7. When thinking of your own technology skills how would you rate yourself We’re really split between old school and new school, so this will be 50/50 is my prediction 8. What one piece of technology would make the biggest impact in your classroom instruction? Those of us without a SMART Board would probably put that here just to prove a point! 9. Where do you need the most training around any technology resource? Another mystery! Maybe the ISTE Standards 10. What do you think of a “parent night” to teach or at least give parents an overview of the technology we utilize in our building? This would be easy to include in our “Math and Science Night” so I think they’d be on board 11. When it comes to new technology implementation, support, maintenance, and professional development, what shortcomings do you see administratively? This could be hazardous! I’d imagine scheduling, broken machines, people not following procedures to maintain stuff, slow response to fix broken things 12. Would you rather have: lab, cart or a few working computers in the classroom Please oh please say a few working computers in the classroom! Then a cart…down with the lab! 13. Anything else?
