Information Dissemination Survey

This survey is anonymous so please provide any feedback that you think will help to inform the way information about ICT (particularly Google is shared). The questions all refer to information contained in emails about ICT within Nexus unless otherwise stated. It will be used to determine the best way to share relevant tools, nothing more.

If you are interested in seeing the results for yourself and/or being involved in the interpretation of the results, please let me know. This is intended to be a completely transparent process where everyone has a voice.

Do you subscribe to any newsletters, forums or blogs related to ICT tools for teaching and learning?

This is a required question

In the last term, how many ICT tools related to teaching and learning have you explored or tested?

This question refers to ANY tools you've explored, not just those from emails. Aim = to get a general picture of how much exploration of tools there is, if any.

This is a required question

Of the emails you do open, roughly how many do you think COULD apply to your teaching?

This question tries to establish the relevance of tips that are sent out to your particular context, given that some teachers in a department will be interested and others won't be. So, for example, 2 out of 4 members of a department might find a tool useful, where 2 do not. Therefore, the tool COULD be useful in that subject area.

This is a required question

If you do NOT explore a particular (or any) ICT tool, what would be the reason(s)?

Tick all that apply.

I don't understand the description of the tool
I don't know how to integrate it effectively so it is not just a gimmick
It is too time-consuming to explore & understand how to use it
It is too time-consuming to use even if I understand how to employ it
It is too time-consuming to adapt my teaching to use it
I do not feel that exploring ICT tools makes me a more effective teacher
