I am one part of the middle school speech pathologist duo at Mounds View. I split my time between Chippewa, Highview, and Oak Grove. I just started my 5th year in the district. I absolutely love working with middle school students, and can't imagine working with another age group.

Exercise 8: Polling and Data Gathering

Poll Everywhere was very quick and easy to create.  I think it took me a minute to create this poll.  Which is nice, if you need to create something on the fly.  For my purposes, I don't know that I would use it that much. I watched the video first on how to use Google Forms, and it too was very simple to create.  Again, I'm not sure for my purposes how much I would use these tools.  However, you never know, so I'm glad I learned how.  I choose to create a teacher interview form when students are being evaluated for a disability in the area of articulation.  I was trying to think if this would be an appropriate use of this technology.  I feel as though it would be, since how a teacher respond to various forms for evaluation is recorded in the evaluation report, and usually kept in the student's SPED file.  I guess if a teacher is uncomfortable with filling it out online, I can go and talk with them individually.

  1. Your form is a PERFECT example of how to use a form in your subject area. You collect the data all in one place and BAM, your job gets easier and more efficient, right? ;)

    I texted and submitted my response thru the website for the PollEverywhere dessert poll and usually the results show as a bar graph instantly. It shows that there are two results but doesn't show the bar graph. I'm not sure why...

  2. Actually, I just figured it out, you have to go into your PollEv settings and switch it over to bar graph.

  3. I love the example of 'Evaluation for Articulation Disability: Teacher Response Form' a perfect way of gathering information. Have you used it yet with any of your evaluations?
