G4) Survey for Homeschoolers
I am a professor of education collecting data regarding homeschool parents' use of Pinterest. Please forward this information regarding a brief online survey to members of your group. Participants will be entered into a raffle for a $50 gift card.
My name is Dr. Diana Brannon and I am a Professor of Education at Elmhurst College. I am conducting a study on teachers' use of Pinterest and would like to include homeschool teachers also. I would love to learn more about the practices of homeschool teachers and feel as though this is a very important group that researchers often neglect. As part of the study, I am asking classroom and homeschool teachers to complete a short, multiple-choice survey regarding their use of Pinterest as part of their teaching. The survey takes approximately 3 minutes (43 questions). Everyone who responds to the survey will be entered into a raffle for a $50 Visa gift card as a thank you for their input and time. The email is located at:
