Feb. 2007 Survey Results Part 1

Today our HRD Crew was to meet. I decided to email them the first part of the Results and Analysis of the Feb. 2007 Survey on their Use of Pod Technology. I decided to email parts of the results rather than the all results. A little at a time might be better.

Prior to sending the email, I also received feedback to the question, would it benefit Crew to receive the content of the email and the other person to the question, how can I simplify the message?

Also, I was struggling with all those who responded as No Users. I'm thinking, could I make an impact? I decided to write step-by-step directions to access podcasts on the HRD website. Not only would they know more about the department's website, but they may realize that pod technology can be used without owning an iPod or device. I'm hoping that I am meeting a need identified in the study.

I received feedback from two Clerical staff members. I asked them to follow the directions of podcast access on the computer so that I can improve on the directions. They benefited from actually following the step-by-step directions and being able to access the podcasts.

That's two clerical that now know how to access podcasts and 87 HRD members who received the directions.

I have attached the email below.


HRD Crew,
HRD CREW completed a pod technology survey in October 2006 and the same survey again in February 2007. This is Part 1 of the Results and Analysis of the February 2007 Survey on the HRD Crew's Use of Pod Technology. Part 1 summarizes the number of all respondents by position and by Unit.
Of the 60 Producers, Coordinators, Directors, and Assistant Superintendent, 29 (48%) responded. Seventy-six Percent of the Teacher Development Unit and 50% of Lead-Non Instructional Unit responded. View the two attachments for more details. [nto attached in the blog]
More bookkeepers and clerical replied to the Feb. 2007 survey. Of the 27 Bookkeepers, Clerical, and Maintenance Staff (See attached HRD), 33% responded to the survey. Since the October survey, the November Crew Meeting activity focused on pod technology. At that time, Bookkeepers/Clerical realized that the survey was intended for them, too.
