Staff Survey Results
Published by Mr Jones May 30th, 2007 in Interactive whiteboards, UncategorizedThanks to everyone who took the time to fill in the questionnaires. Here are the updated results after the late arrival of another set of responses:
Additional comments were:
“I no longer hate my board, but I still haven’t learned to love it.”
“Provide ACTIVote and slate for each classroom”
“What about the ‘East Lothian Event’ promised by Promethean?”
“Other depts now want iwbs”
“My projector broke and the after sales service was excellent.”
“As a department, we are thinking and reflecting more about our teaching.”
“Although I enjoy using the iwb, every lesson does take much longer to prepare. I do find myself more organised for my lessons, but this is perhaps to the detriment of my evenings and weekends.”
“We have had issues getting IT to install the slate and we are still having some issues with this.”
“ACTIVote pads are fantastic”
” [I would like] more East Lothian courses according to ability of teacher”
“I have enjoyed using ACTIVote with S2 Access 3 class. Can see use for this to do pupil evaluations of courses”
“Many of the pens are inconsistent in terms of the iwbs they work with - many pens do not work at all”
“Staff need to be given more spare time to familiarise with software and more opportunities to share and discuss resources.”
Thanks for sharing these results. Did you survey any students? I’m curious to know what they think of them. For example, do they make maths more interesting? Do they - perhaps by making it easier to do better diagrams - make teaching easier to follow?
We did indeed survey the students, using the same questions that the DfES used in their recent research. The responses are being collated as we speak, but I can certainly say from the bits of paper I’ve seen that the pupils’ responses were very positive. I was particularly pleased to see that almost all pupils either agreed or agreed strongly with the statement “We get to join in lessons more when my teacher uses an IWB”
