6. Overall Teacher Feedback
• Online video tutorials were helpful.
• Appreciative of “flexible” staff development.
• Discussion forums were helpful for hearing
about how others were using the iPads.
• Still would like more time to “play” and get
comfortable.
• Some still want “meetings” and paper
directions.
