PERSONAL LEARNING JOURNAL: 23th December

  The last day of class, we have continued working with Excel and we have talked about questionnaires (and, in particular, SurveyMonkey) and virtual platforms (Edmodo and Webnode).



In Excel, we have learnt how we can color in red the marks that are less than 4, how we can hide columns and how we can leave the first row fixed while the rest moves. This is the result.


      Then, we have worked with Survey Monkey, a webpage in which we can create opinion or future intention questionnaires. We have created there a survey with seven types of questions: Rating scale, Multiple Choice (Only one answer), Multiple Choice (Multiple Answers), Comment/Essay box (useful for suggestions), Ranking, Matrix of choices (Only one answer per row) and Matrix of Droop-down Menus. The result can be seen in this link

Surveys are useful as future teacher to improve our classes, and watch what students find interesting, what boring, or what parents think about the school. For statistics it is better to use the same type of questions because it is better then to compare and draw conclusions. And, for that reason, using multiple choice (multiple answers) is not effective because if each participant select different number of answers, the results are not going to be real. What is more, with this type of questionnaires, we have to bear in mind that we cannot generalize. If the answers are from our students, it doesn't mean that all of the children of the world think the same.
      In MiAulario there is also another tool to create surveys, but only current university teachers can create questionnaires.




      And finally we have talked about virtual platforms: Edmodo and Webnode. In both pages we have created our own webpages in which we can share information with our pupils, create different folders, send notices to them, create exams, etc. These are the webpages and their appearance:
