Activity 8: Polling and Data Gathering

Poll Everywhere

I thought this was a great tool! However, again I feel like we don't have the technology to access this type of thing easily. I WANT iPADS! I was going to give my kids a reading survey, but thought getting them to login would be difficult. Also, I added a question that asked them their name, but didn't know if their responses would be organized by student or just totals.

So, I switched to asking the staff if they have ever used SMART recorder and will try to work this into my workshop presentation.



Google Docs
I am so excited to learn how to do this! I have been able to create docs - but have never created a form to use with kids. I watched Katie Greene use one last year as part of a flipped lesson and was really excited about trying to use one. However, I never found the time to learn how...until now. :)

I decided to do the reading survey in this format and think getting the responses will be much easier. I love to find out where my students are with reading right out of the gate. I would love to use these forms as entrance slips in math, and so many other ways!

  1. Great job, Julie -- you did it!!! And this is something you can really use at Meet your Teacher or the first week of school. In fact, you should SHARE it with me to use on my web page as well!!!! ;-)

  2. Julie, this is such a great idea! Students will love to answer these questions and their responses will be valuable in your planning and knowledge of their interests. I am excited for you to use these this year! :)

  3. Good job friend! You are going to love Google Forms. Has Katie showed you how to sort your responses or do conditional formatting? If not, I will - it's super helpful and motivating for the kids!

  4. Looks good! Way more interesting that a pen and paper survey!
