* Greetings VT School IT'ers:

One of my professional goals for the current year is to develop a (valid and reliable) survey for measuring factors related to teachers' use of computers. I have adapted a survey used in other fields and am currently in search of folks to answer the questions so that I can determine internal consistency of the items. Right now, there are six sections and a total of 81 questions... I had students complete it to help me find typos, and it took them about 10 minutes to complete all six sections.

If you are inclined to spend 10 minutes answering questions about computers, the link is here:

Many students are students are involved in YWP this year, so it might be appropriate… and might be useful when looking at budget next year… This following are some questions I asked my students this week.

 * 1) I have found YWP posting of assignments: engaging/ so-so /difficult/ frustrating because
 * 2) I wish we could: discuss more/ comment more/ have more time/ do more with our posts when using YWP because
 * 3) Generally I think YWP is

I suggest we look at the survey we did last spring and tweak that one. I also have a brief survey I gave to Phil last year for teachers. Perhaps that would be a starting point?

Personally, I like the Google apps survey tool. Jude
