During this weeks Wimba session I was unable to share my Leadership project so I asked some classmates to review my project and give me feedback. I asked David Stossmiester, Vivian Tejedor, Drew Fulton, Smitty Lewis, and John Hutchinson to review the project. I was given some great feedback that I believe helped my project tremendously. David said that "I needed to add some to the methodology slide. You discussed what and the why but what about the how? how did you try to get the teachers excited and willing to use new technology? Did you hold Professional Development meetings, did you conduct surveys? You mention in the next slide "after the teachers went through professional development..." So, I guess what I'm thinking is a brief explanation of what that professional development was." 
Smitty said "

Slide 2, Paragraph one reads: 

"When this technology is implemented there is a need for follow up to find out the positives and negatives of the technology and see how to better implement the technology." 

At the end of the paragraph you almost repeat this statement. I would suggest perhaps rewording the terms positive and negative to "benefits" and "challenges."

Slide 3, Paragraph 1 seems to suggest being stand offish as a mentor or lead teacher. I would like to hear the validation or refutation in your experience to thi point.

Slide 7, Paragraph 3 one spelling error to repair.

 

Drew said "Your presentation looks good.  You've got some really great info in the first few slides that I assume comes from your Lit Review.  I think your actual work in the CBR is really great and I think I'd like to see that portion of the presentation expanded.  I'd love to know more about how your teachers felt about the whole thing.  If you have some quotes or something from them, that could be really enlightening. "

Vivian said, great image, of students and educator engaged in technology, it would be great to add an image of a classroom lacking technology to contrast and support your research questions.

All of the feedback was great and much of it was taken to heart and changed to help my project. It is great to know that there are colleagues that are will to go above and beyond to help a classmate. THANKS!
