This week we are talking about working! Everyone has just had holidays of some sort and we are now back to work until June.  So the activity we chose to do was to create a poll about jobs. The students decided whether they would ask a question about what type of job you would like - a dream job - when you where in high school or when you were an adult. They might have asked what would NOT be your dream job.

To create the poll we used blogpoll.  The students could chose between 5 and 10 options for you to pick from. Then they had to copy the JavaScript code that blogpoll produced and paste it into the appropriate spot on their blog. There were some problems with this as the poll attached itself to some uncompleted work they had started so you may see some unfinished work on the right hand side of the student blogs under About the Blogger just above their poll.  Please ignore this glitch, it comes with this blogging platform. My demonstration poll is on the right hand side of this blog and that is where you will find the student polls as well.

The second thing the students had to do was to write a small post to tell their audience about the poll and where to locate it on their blogs. Most students were unable to complete all of this in a 45 minute class, part of it taken up by my instructions on how to create the poll!

If you are dropping by please respond to a few of the student polls. They take only a minute (if that) to complete. Thank you! We are looking forward to seeing the results from your responses.
