Week Three

Making a survey in google docs was pretty easy for me. The process was pretty self explanatory and I liked that the program places all of your results into their own graphs. This made it easier to be able to read the results of the survey. This weeks assignment met a couple different ISTE standards. The first one being modeling digital age work and learning. Although this program makes it very easy to design a survey, by being able to create your own survey it still shows that you are familiar with the technology. Another standard that this assignment met was designing a digital age assessment. This type of evaluation would require the students to get online and be able to follow the hyperlink to the assigned evaluation. Using something such as this evaluation process through google docs would be an interesting and different way to go about giving an exam to a class. This would allow the students to have more of a take-home type of assessment. The only down fall to the idea of presenting exams in this way is that the teacher would be unable to monitor the students during the exam to prevent cheating. Another way this form could be used in the classroom is for simply taking surveys. If I wanted to find out what the students were most interested in I could put multiple topics up on a survey and see which topics the students would be most interested in learning about.
