Activity #8 Polling and Data Gathering

Once again, I am really searching for the way polling would look in kindergarten.

 My 2 thoughts:
 1- as a way to engage parents and or spark the at-home connection. I think parents might find a poll unique and it might entice them to check a class blog regularly.
 2- kids could check the class blog from home and answer a poll with a little support. We could discuss the data in class. I was wondering too, if I had 3 or 4 iPads in class, and set up a poll, could the kids get in 3 lines and check their answer via the iPad. ...or does each poll entry have to come from a separate device? I'll have to check into that.

Here is a poll I thought I could put up on the screen at my parent info night. Parents could take the poll while waiting and it could be a little ice-breaker as I start my presentation. This poll was easy to make. I did give a try to adding graphics to another poll- but didn't get it to work on my Chromebook. I think I could do it at home on my mac.


Google Forms:
 Here is a form I created. Pretty easy to do. I sent it to my team trying to find a common date for us to meet at school. I left one question open-ended... asking what was on their/our "to-do" list. I am anxious to see how they respond. Fun and helpful. I don't see myself using a form with kids... and not really parents at this point. Maybe an end-of-the-year survey. But I would definitely use a form with my team. It's practical, but adds a little more interest to email too!
