Math and Technology Integration Survey

This past April 1, 2009, I decided to take the plunge and start a master's program. I enrolled at Western Governors University and am working towards a Master of Education in Learning and Technology. As a culminating project, I will be writing a capstone project about the following instructional problem:

"Teachers struggle to effectively teach the skills necessary for students to solve word problems in mathematics."

As part of the needs analysis process, I would appreciate your thoughts on each of the following questions. The targeted audience for this survey and project is K12 math teachers in a public or private institution. Thank you so much for assisting me with my capstone project!

* Required

Name and/or Email Address (optional) Please include email address if interested in participating in the future project.

Grade level or level of mathematics taught *

Current position *

Do you currently use technology to support your math instruction? *

If so, how many hours per day do you use technology with your students? *

none
1-2 hours
3-4 hours
more than 4 hours

Have you ever created a screencast (A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration - wikipedia.com) to support your math instruction? *

Have you ever created a VoiceThread to support your math instruction? *

Have you ever used a digital camera and downloaded the images to your camera? *

Have you ever participated in mathematics professional development online? *

Have you ever participated in online learning to acquire technology integration skills? *

If so, was the session effective in your opinion?

If so, have you continued to implement what was learned in session?

Please rate each statement using the rating of scale of 1 to 5. Students' ability to think creatively and critically. *

	1	2	3	4	5
Poor						Excellent

Students' ability to effectively and clearly demonstrate math processes and algorithms orally and in written expression. *

	1	2	3	4	5
Poor						Excellent

If you rated the students' ability to solve mathematics word problems in the 1 to 3 range, to what do you attribute these shortcomings

lack of technical skills for teachers
lack of technical skills for students
lack of experience with real world activities for students
lack of opportunities to collaborate for students
lack of learning activities for students that integrate technology
