If you have been following my recent blog posts, you are familiar with Berger's (2014) questioning as well as my individual questioning within my professional practice. After reflecting on the questions in my last post, Stop & Reflect, I created a question that relates to a wicked problem. “How can I build technology skills for my EBS?” I chose this question because it relates to my professional practice and my students. For example, at my school our student body speaks over 40 languages and interacting with Emergent Bilingual students is a part of my everyday life. While integrating technology into my practice is very common, I see many EBS lacking basic technology skills and knowledge. Therefore, I created a survey to collect data to inform discussion on building technology skills for EBS. After indulging in Berger's questioning and my own questions, I developed questions to include in my survey. At first this seemed easy, however, as I dived deeper into survey design, I made MANY changes. To name a few, some of the changes include multiple choice questions, being more specific, omitting unnecessary questions, and emphasizing words for visual impaired learners. I also added questions in the beginning to gather information about the participants' experience with EBS. While the design is appealing and user friendly, I did make a few design changes to keep it looking and feeling clean. Looking at the survey from a visual lens, I emphasized important words such as FIRST or MOST to assist any participants who may struggle with visuals in decoding the question. I'm looking forward to collecting data to inform discussion on building technology skills for Emergent Bilingual students. Stay tuned for my next post!
