Pre-Survey

=Evaluation and Survey Issues=

Next Steps Jay will check with Wireless Philadelphia about ability to track changes in usage. Robin will create formal evaluation proposal for Kyle Student Survey? Teacher Survey? Technician Survey? Parent & Student Surveys?

Basic Issues ...
 * Make sure questions are multiple choice (using scale)...
 * Make sure questions are in Spanish and english...
 * Make sure that questions make sense to a computer novice

Goals
 * Student Academic improvements (academic)
 * Parent to School Improvements (Parent communications)
 * Parent to Parent improvements (Community communications)
 * Parent to Child improvements (Educational environment)
 * Parent Literacy or Job skill Improvements (Literacy)
 * Technology use and literacy (Technology)

Academic Goal Detail
 * See if student achivement is increased by the implementation of this program - find similar schools as control groups (3) using their demographics and scores on tera-nova scores in previous years (2nd grade for 3rd graders and 3rd grade for 4th graders). If teranova is not available in future years, then we will need to corrolate scores between tests
 * See if teacher activities influance achievement in specific standards - monthly survey to teachers asking which activities they did that utilized the computers at home and their prediction about which state standards were being addressed by those activities. Second step might involve a review of those activities by project staff.
 * See if students, when they get to 5th grade, receive better grades than their control-group counterparts - study how other 5th graders coming from different schools performed in the school when competing for grades against Sheppard Students.
