EdTech Room Survey – Fall 2014

Survey_iconIn an effort to more thoroughly understand the Williston edtech landscape, it would be very helpful if each Williston teacher filled out this short survey for each room that they teach in.

The more information you can provide the better!

Thank you for taking the time to provide information crucial to charting the course of the evolution of edtech at Williston.

Here’s what I presented at tonight’s faculty meeting:

Five: I am perfectly happy with the educational technology in my life. I know how to use the tools that are available to me and everything I want to use functions properly.
