Call Questionnaire

Introduction

These are the results of a questionnaire I gave to my students at the beginning of April, to get feedback about their knowledge of computing, and their reactions to the international project.  It was given out to 50 students, in 3 classes.

Finally!

Hello everybody,

we’ve finally finished our voicethread and we’ve uploaded it on the students showcase. It’s been more difficult than I would have predicted when we started but personally I’m quite pleased with the final result.

On a different note, I’d like to tell you that I’ll be away for 5 days and I don’t think I’ll access our blog. Please leave comments to the voicethread, we’d love to see your reactions.

Thanks a lot,

Mona
