CEdO540 Week 4

Creating a survey was kind of fun. Outside of surveying my students and teachers on technology use for our technology plan, I've never just surveyed the general public. Our group is still analyzing the data, but I am very pleased with the adversity of the population who took it. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, it was extremely easy to get the survey out to the public. I passed it along to my sister, who passed it along to her co-workers, who passed it along to their friends. It would have been much harder to get these same results if we handed out a paper survey. Plus, I think its easier to keep an online survey anonymous. Howerver, after reading up on Bill Tancer and how he conducts his research based on searches through IP addresses, I have to wonder if the survey results are truly anonymous? Could there be a way to identify by email address who took the survey and identify their individual results?
