Assignment #5 Survey

I prepared a short survey on technology access in the school. Recently some teachers of Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools were given net books to replace older existing lap tops. The replacement has generated some discussions and so I wanted to survey those teachers in my science department and gauge their feelings on the tools we are given by our school board and our access to those tools. The survey was well received and I made only a few changes based on reactions from my colleagues. The most significant change I had to make was splitting one question into two when someome commented it seemed to be asking two things. I just made a very short survey, but afterwards felt it was a topic worth exploring. I actually left the experience wanting to make a longer more thourough survey to really get some information from more teachers as to how they were feeling about the subject. But as this technology replacement is not the focus of my evaluation so I will not be exploring it further, however I think there is room for an evaluation there should anyone want to do one!
