Question & Data

After thinking about everything and talking to others, I need to narrow down my question. My question is will videos/podcasts be useful to my clients? (new educators, Liaisons, teachers)
I will begin to survey my teachers when I visit them and keep a running record. I don't want to send them a survey in the pony or e-mail, because everyone is feeling the crunch of too much, too many e-mails, too many requests, just too many. I want this to be as customer friendly as possible.

Part of my question had to with timliness and effectiveness! Time is of the essence and we all feel the crunch of not having enough of it, especially out teachers. So how will you utilize the podcasts to make PD more time efficient for your clients?

Have you considered using Quia.com or SurveyMonkey.com for data collection? These services provide a way to deliver a customer friendly survey electronically that is timely and less intrusive than paper/pencil. No pony, no questions, no problems. I utilized their service and received 162 responses in less than five days. From their feedback, the closed question survey took no more than 5 minutes to complete.

Also, have you viewed the results from the South Central NESS Liaisons, Instructional Coaches, and New Educators? Baseline data on their podcast familiarity was already collected. This might be of assistance to your plan.

Way to go . . . you are well on your way as a podcast native!
How can we work together to create systems that give us back time?
In an effort to do something new, we have to give up something old . . .
what are you going to give up to get the time needed to invest in creating podcasts?

Podcasts, if used properly, always adds to learning.
