Collaboration #6: Collaborate

Imagine the following scenario:

Dissatisfaction has grown in your school and/or school district about a specific practice, such as the current grading policy. Due to your reputations as technology experts, you and your partner have been asked to select a free or low cost tool for select stakeholders from the school and community to use to collaborate on alternatives to the current practice.

  1. With your partner, select and describe a practice to be changed.
  2. Describe to your partner any digital tools or resources you, your school and/or school district currently use to gather information from employees, parents, community members and students. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the tool(s) you currently use?
  3. Working with your partner, locate an online survey instrument (such as Survey Monkey or Zoomerang you can use to gather information from staff, parents, and community members about the policy you have selected.
  4. Create a sample questionnaire of at least ten questions using the online instrument you have selected, keeping notes about ease of use and problems you encounter. Save a copy of this survey for your portfolio.
  5. Would you as a teacher use the same tool with your students and their parents? Why or why not?
  6. When using an online data collection tool in your school community, will community access be an issue? Will your community need access to school resources or an information campaign to learn where computers are available? Answer this question in the portfolio entry (3b) you will create from this activity.
