Challenge 1: Who would be part of the feedback initiative?

CHALLENGE 2: What do we want to learn from our feedback group and how would we get that information?

• Regular meetings with

teachers

You can’t fake listening. It shows.

Student Round Table

“I really dislike how the teacher can see what you’re doing.”

“The Chromebook improved my ability to learn because, with the keyboard and a touch screen, there are so many different ways you can learn. Also, since it’s a Google tablet, it has a lot of tricks to use for Google to help me learn more during a lesson.” “The interface was much cleaner, and navigation was much easier than Apple’s OS.”

“I have been using Go Guardian. I like that I am able to see what the students are working on. I also like that I can block them from certain sites, etc. Overall, it is a good device and I feel will better prepare students for their college experience. Some students are complaining about their ability to use the device because they are not used to it, but that is to be expected.”

“I still cannot use my Chromebook because I can't write on a PDF!!”

“I enjoy the speed of the

• Chromebook. I also love the
• keyboard. On the other side, I

do not like taking notes or trying to organize notes in Google.”
