Description The two projects that I worked on were a survey on what kinds of materials students would like to see in the media center and the other was How to fill out the Six Flags Reading Log. I used Google Docs to prepare a survey for students to have input as to the kinds of library materials they would like to see in the media center. I also created a presentation on how to fill out the Six Flags Reading Log. The students have the opportunity to earn a free ticket to Six Flags if they read for six hours.

Reflection It was interesting creating the survey and experimenting with a couple of choices for answers. It was however frustrating when I gave the URL to students and they successfully took the survey and their responses are out there in cyber space somewhere. Their responses did not get on the spread sheet. Since I had no luck in getting the student responses on the spread sheet, I made copies of the survey and had students fill them out. I then posted all of their resposes on the spread sheet only to find out that when I did the Summary of responses none of their responses were in the summary. The presentation was challenging but a learning experience. I do believe that it has helped the students in properly filling out the Six Flags Reading Log form. A problem that I had was with slide 2 of the presentation. On slide 2, you need to click on a URL which brings you to what the Six Flags Reading Log looks like. Sometimes the Reading Log comes up immediately and other times it takes almost forever. So in future presentations, I don't plan to use a URL. In regards to my Google site, I changes the background but I have not figured out how to get the banner back. I will continue working on it. I am sure that all of the problems that I am having are due to some small item that I have forgot to use. I now have the banner back on the Google site.
