The survey that I created below is to find out if our students have access to technology and internet at home. I always wanted to create an online school so that students can have access to the curriculum anytime and anywhere. We could include digital books, tutorials, videos, and websites for fun and practice. All the work could be posted online and parents could help their children with the homework without much frustration. As a future administrator, before I would continue towards my plan, I would let the parents take this survey to find out how many students do not have access to technology at home. I would definitely provide an alternative to those families.
