Allie, Audrey, Cami, and I are focusing on our digital world through the lens of families who want to better understand it and keep their families happy and safe in spite of it. We would like to study, review, and present examples of families who have not only been happy and safe in spite of digital culture, but have become more unified because of it!
How would we measure our success in discussing these issues, though, without knowing what it is families are concerned about and interested in?
We have started a working model of a survey we would like to administer online in order to more narrowly focus our research. Here is what we've come up with so far:
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Thank you for taking this brief, confidential survey.
As a part of our BYU Digital Culture class, a small group of us are especially interested in assessing and helping to meet the needs of families as they learn to understand and use new media and other digital resources.
If you would like to have access to the concerns we address (specific to the family) over the course of the semester as well as the digital resources we review for safety, utility, and potential to do good, there will be a place at the end of the survey to include your email address, if you would like to.

Looks great Rebecca! I think these survey questions are great! I think we should just have a basic survey at first and then if we want to make further surveys in the future we can make them more specific. Are we creating the survey today?
