Integrating Computer Technology into the Curriculum at the Grade 4 and 5 Levels
ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE for Intermediate level B.C. teachers (including computer teachers) only please.

WHEW! This section has taken a lot of time and effort to compile!

First of all, each written comment from each participant must be entered into a spreadsheet. Similar comments are combined. Unique comments are left on their own. Related comments are gathered into separate sections. Comments which appear to have more than one "meaning", are recorded only once, in the section I deem most suitable. (For example, a comment regarding "Novel Research" is listed under the heading of "Novels" and is not listed under the heading of "Research".) Some specific wordings have been included in order to help clarify the various participants' meanings.

As more comments are added to the spreadsheet, there is a considerable amount of "moving the data around" so that the results will be displayed in a meaningful arrangement.

It is hoped this data will:
-give an indication of how some teachers in the target district are presently using computer technology
-provide some insight into where these teachers hope to be progressing in their computer activities
-provide other teachers with affirmation for computer activities which they currently use themselves and which have also been used by the participants
-provide other teachers with some encouraging ideas for new computer activities which the participants have found to be useful
-perhaps encourage those teachers who have additional ideas, which have not been mentioned by the participants, to share those ideas with other teachers.
