What is the purpose of this survey?

As I said before in my previous post ''For teachers and by teachers''

'' what, why, how'' three questions are needed to be answered. Thus, I think the goal of this survey is to get information about the content which is going to be used to form the website. If we know the target of the survey, we can formulate the questions. I think the survey is not just a decoration or something we have to do because we are told to do it. So the questions should be logical, related to the purpose, specified and limited. As we all admitted, Reham had exerted her efforts to do it. I admired some of the points she included in the survey. So let me share with you my suggestion and I hope you will like it:

For teachers and by teachers

After surfing the internet for a week, reading here and there, I was still in a loss. I thought about our project ''a website for teachers and by teachers''. I like this logo which I had seen in one of many sites I've been browsing. All right! Let's do it. There are arrays of sites dealing with teachers' issues. All I have to do is to ask Google so what is the difference?

There are these three questions that bother me ( how/ who/ why?)

How can we set up the website?

For whom is this website? (I know it is for teachers but what kind of teachers? all teachers, English teachers, Egyptians, Or is it for all teachers all over the world?

What is the purpose of this website?

I mean what is the vision of our website?

Hence, I asked myself and some of my colleagues this question (if there is a website for teachers, what do you want to see in it? ) one of them said as a teacher I would like to find resources for my teaching , for how to be an effective teacher, how to deal with my students etc… that means professional development is the key issue for some of them.

For me I use Google when I search for something. However, it will be easy if there is a website where I can find what I want easily.

So what do I want?

-I need to find information that can help me inside the classroom.

-What others do inside their classrooms or their experiences?

-What are the oldest and the newest theories of teaching?

-Some lesson plans for teachers in different countries.

-What are the curricula in other countries?

-How can I explore my students' creative sides?

-I need to find some activities, videos and worksheets

-Some stories from other teachers.

When I read some articles in Nelta Choutari , I liked them very much they share their visions with us . Sharing is the key word which we need to understand and adopt.So we need to evaluate the strengths, the weaknesses , the opportunities and the threats of our project.
