While the end of the school year can be a tricky time to keep students engaged, teacher Charles Coleman developed a fun and productive project to drive learning. A combination of technology and personal choice led to high student engagement<\/a>\u00a0even as the school year came to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Education That Makes a Difference<\/h2>\n

As a ninth-grade math teacher at Palmer Secondary School in British Columbia, Canada, Coleman was looking for a project that would help students to review their math skills through practical application. To engage students at the end of the school year, though, would require more than just a textbook exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that it\u2019s important to give students an opportunity to work with systems that may provide them an edge in the job market.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

To meet this goal, Coleman searched online for tools that might suit his purpose. With a background in computer science and some experience with online surveys, he started searching for a user-friendly online survey tool that students could use to conduct research and practice their statistics skills. Considering that one-third of students in the class spoke English as a second language, the chosen platform needed to be intuitive without too much explanation required.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finding the Sogolytics platform<\/a> to be accessible and easy to use for both teachers and students<\/a>, he consulted with colleagues on suggestions to make the project a success, then rolled out his plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feedback That Counts<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, he built a quick sample survey to collect feedback about the school cafe — a clear model that demonstrated the basics of data collection. With the limited amount of time available to conduct the entire project, the survey template<\/a> provided a good foundation to get students started. Each project needed to include at least six questions, and students could choose their own topics and branding<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, students created and conducted their surveys. \u201cThey came up with some interesting stuff,\u201d said Coleman. Shoes, fashion, sports teams, video games, and favorite bands were popular topics. Most students shared their surveys through multi-use links<\/a> to collect as many responses as possible, although some used offline options as a more accessible accommodation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, when the results were in, students created their own graphs and charts to demonstrate their findings. The only drawback, Coleman noted, was that they didn\u2019t have enough time to gather sufficient \u201creal data\u201d and ended up completing their own surveys a few extra times for \u201cdummy data\u201d. As a result, the reports might have been a bit artificial, but the calculations were real enough to allow plenty of practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflections on Learning<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the shortened project window and the late point in the year when the project was carried out, the work got done. Said Coleman, \u201cThey did complete the task, they were engaged, and they all turned it in.\u201d Describing the students as \u201cmedia savvy\u201d (\u201cThey just click away until they get what they want!\u201d) he was both pleased and surprised at their capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for students to understand statistics, and how they\u2019re created,\u201d said Coleman. For students to be successful now and in the future, they also need to be engaged and motivated, and this creative project helped to build the right connections for success.<\/span><\/p>\n
