Technology Survey - January 2014

We have various forms of technology available to us. A veritable hodgepodge of technology. In order to better meet your needs and your teaching outcomes I am looking to find what best works in your classroom.

What we need to find is the happy medium that works for the majority of staff and students.

Please feel free to answer the following questions with an open mind and positive attitude.

For the Rating Scales - It's the same as school - A is the highest success rate, F is the lowest success rate.

Please note the questions are NOT pass/fail. They require you to really examine how you use technology. As a general rule SMARTBOARDS and ELMO's are not a part of this survey because every class either has smartboards and ELMO's or we are planning on every classroom to have this technology. (Paraprofessionals answer based on your observations from the classrooms you spend your support time in.)
