During early April 2013, we undertook an online and phone survey
of 482 people including teachers, environmental centre directors
and participants from zoos, child care centres and home-school
parents who did the Green Lane Diary program in 2012. This group
included around 350 teachers.
We undertook the survey in order to explore different possible
funding and delivery models for the 2013 program. We sought
feedback about charging a small fee for print Diaries, as well as
feedback about how the Diary is used, availability of computers and
iPads to access interactive tools, the Diary's impact through
projects and activities, and national curriculum alignment.
Teachers valued the flexible nature of the diary, and the
variety of content it covered, with 83% of teachers indicating that
they'd be keen to do the program online, if print diaries were not
feasible this year.
