2018 Survey Results: Useful Tools

In this post, we continue digesting the input from the 85 Anabaptist educators who filled out our survey. For Part 1 of the results, which includes demographic profiles of respondents and the types of curricula and resources their schools make available, go here.

How valuable are these tools to you?

We asked respondents to rate the value of a number of digital tools in their educational work. They could choose from “Don’t use,” “Helps a little,” “Very useful,” and “Indispensable.” In the chart below, we have converted these responses to numbers 0-3 and taken the average ranking for each tool. The chart represents the overall likelihood that a respondent finds a tool valuable.

What other resources can you recommend?

This question was wide open, and the responses were fascinating. Educators named or described 87 different resources. Many items were nominated by more than one respondent. These are indicated with a number in parentheses.

The results below are not sorted by school subject, but they are categorized by the type of resource. Educators recommended an inspiring number of books and a surprising number of websites and apps. Several respondents noted the value of interacting with other educators, both formally and informally.
