One Question Surveys – What do you want to find out about?

DataPublished on3 Comments on One Question Surveys – What do you want to find out about?

I have started a little project that wil post some simple surveys on education and/or technology. The Apple v Android survey managed to draw well over 1000 responses and I would like to attempt the same for a wider group of questions.

You can do three different things on the site:

>VOTE – add your preferences or votes to open surveys

>RESULTS – explore the outcomes of the completed surveys and add your comments, results will be published after 1000 responses – chunky results!

>SUGGEST – make a suggestion about a question to survey, I will try and make as many worthwhile questions active surveys as I can. In fact you can make a suggestion in the form below right now – it could be anything from preferences, tech choices, future of education, other school or tech related issues.

I would like the survey outcomes to be used in combination with each other so that they might form a wider picture of an issue. For example after a time you might pull all the mobile surveys together or all the results tagged “curriculum”. All the content is CC-A-NC-SA licensed so you can use them in your presentations or blog posts.

I hope you can lend your support to this little project.

 

Apple iPads or Android Tablets? See What More Than 1000 Educators Decided

Google, iPadsPublished onUpdated on32 Comments on Apple iPads or Android Tablets? See What More Than 1000 Educators Decided

Since March I have been running this little survey that is a limited comparison between the current preferences between Apple iPads in the classroom or Android Tablets. It obviously doesn’t take into account the other platforms that are on offer such as Windows machines.

There has been a fantastic response with over 1000 responses submitted and counting!

From conversation with colleagues on Twitter it seems that many people are heading towards Apple products due to the maturity of the App store and the sheer range of Apps that is available.

It would seem from these results that most educators are opting for the iPads over tablets running Android operating systems.

If you took a moment to vote I am really grateful – it would also beneficial to all who are interested in investing in iPads for you to leave a comment explaining your current thinking about the two types of devices. Explaining the thinking behind your decision process could really help others in the same situation.
