My thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/finetoothcog.com\/\">MJ<\/a> for encouraging me to drink a FULL glass of wine before my talk. <\/p>\n<p>I posted my slides <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/selenamarie\/are-surveys-useful\/\">here<\/a>. Those of you wondering who that handsome man is on slide 3, here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benjamin_Bloom\">wikipedia entry<\/a> for Benjamin Bloom. He was an educational psychologist whose learning taxonomy (Bloom&#8217;s Taxonomy) is still used today in grad school education curricula. He&#8217;s mostly known for the Taxonomy and his study that said 95% of all test questions given to students only addressed the bottom of his taxonomy &#8211; knowledge questions, or questions that only tested the ability to memorize facts.<\/p>\n<p>My presentation was about making better questions for community-oriented surveys. One caveat is that I am not a statistician! My suggestions sprung from a series of surveys I&#8217;ve seen and a small amount of work I&#8217;ve done on the Perl Survey data.<\/p>\n<p>One good thing that came out of the talk was that Audrey agreed to have a look at the perl survey data with me in a couple weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Another great thing that came out of it was a friend of mine saw the How Chickens will Save Your Life presentation, and now, I think he&#8217;s going to get chickens. How awesome is that? <\/p>\n<p>Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igniteportland.com\/2007\/10\/ignite-portland-agenda\/\">all fellow presenters<\/a>. I enjoyed meeting you all and was thoroughly entertained. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night&#8217;s Ignite talks were awesome.
