Survey started

Lisa and I have both released our survey out onto the staff. So far between us we have 16 results in. I marked my email so I could see who have read it. (10 read emails and 7 completed surveys)

One teacher was unsure about privacy which I had mentioned verbally so have sent out an additional email addressing this issue and mentioned that they can see me if wishing to know more. With Obsurvey we only know the city location which means nothing in this case.

Having a few issues timetabling my interviews as I have had two shorter weeks (and I work part-time) because of PD and Union meeting so will have to try and fit them in next week. Have set up Audacity as my recording device on my laptop and will save them as MP3s.

Hope all one has had a good long weekend.

Now it can be marked...

In her attempt to get the last drop of blood from Lisa and Katie Bronwyn sends out her feedback J

Sent this line to Bronwyn in a recent email as Lisa and I continue to polish. Now it is time for marking.

Have sent out my survey but it got blocked by the firewall at work so hope the AP who is acting principal see my email and unlocks so gathering can now start.

Next step is to comment on some of your projects and to check out Audacity which I am going to use as a way of recording my interviews.

Have not put a copyright for the picture - so all of you may use it if you wish.

Survey

As Lisa and I have got into the habit on a Wednesday night we had our usual assignment chat. The focus this time was our online survey. We are using Obsurvey as mentioned in a previous post. I 'found' this through another site and it seems to have advantages over Survey Monkey.

Even though this meeting could of been a short one we spent time a lot of time doing a mock up of it to check if there are any issues. We are doing our surveys individually so we can compare them in our report if anything comes to light in the survey.
To use an old saying 'the proof is in the pudding'.

I love rich text editor

Here is an update of where the swimming pool was. My poor brother-in-law is shocked that the deck (can't fit in photo what is round the side of the house) is bigger than his flat.

Please note the title of my blog this is my new swear word. For those of you who have not used rich text editor much will understand why this code is treated with such distain. (Foot note I tried to have the code for page break as my title and the blog couldn't cope - typical!)

Lisa was away over the holidays entertaining any child that would call her aunty. I was seeing distant family and having a builder in everyday ...and I kept the cake tin full! Because we were unable to make contact during this time I was involved in a 4 hour session of corrections suggested by Bronwyn.

To quote Bronwyn (sorry not APA referenced) 'Your evaluation plan is looking very good and you are not far from completing it.' I tried to use this as my mantra.

Our evaluation is at the point where if we play with it anymore bits will drop off. We have looked into using another online survey rather than SurveyMonkey which has its limitations. You will see a link in my blog (two blogs ago) and in Lisa's.

Making changes

Thanks Bronwyn for the feedback. Have yet to hear from Lisa so have done some of the changes but will need to get out the legendary big piece of paper to make sense how we could adjust the questions. Husband away so may not get a chance until tomorrow or Monday night to start.

Funny experience with last blogpost. Got three comments from outside which included two comments from the person who developed the online survey I was thinking of using. He is in Denmark. When I get a chance will ask a couple of questions I have about his work. Nice to see what motivated him to develop it.
