I signed up for a free subscription to polldaddy.com. I have heard of teachers using this site and others like it to post questions students, parents and other staff members could respond to anonymously. I set up a sample survey over a lesson I teach in class, this topic is bullying prevention.
I use a variety of technology with this lesson such as , video and web cartoons, an episode of a popular talk show host, group and scenario short stories and films, and prevention propaganda created by students on the computer. So, adding a pretest survey for the students to answer would help enhance my lesson considerably.
The questions I focused on asking were ones I usually open up my lesson with to help students relate to the topic of bullying. Students are apprehensive about sharing their bullying experience, due to looking weak and being embarrassed. This survey allows them to answer the same questions I have asked in the past but they can answer the questions honestly, with more emotion and sharing. Once I have the results, I can use the data collected to share with students that everyone has been bullied, been a bully or watch bullying and not know how to assist themselves or others. I also allowed space to share experiences, locations and to ask for assistance if they do not have a trusted adult to turn to.
I see many positives for this site, it is controlled, anonymous, and also gathers useful information that can be visible for all to see, including parents and teachers to gain further understanding on how they can assist in the prevention of bullying in our schools. I would highly recommend this site to others in various fields.
