Taking Stock: Student Feedback

In assessing the use--past, present, and future--of the iPad in the English classroom, I think it appropriate to conclude the year with a student survey.

I've constructed a survey using surveymonkey.com that allows for student feedback regarding ease of use, general engagement, particular engagement with various apps and websites, and suggestions for best use in the future.

My goal, in concluding the academic year with this survey, is to reflect on what worked best and what might be tweaked for next year's iPad English class.

The survey lives here now--I'll share this with my students next week, but I'd be glad for some feedback from the blogosphere on framing the questions and/or adding/deleting questions.

In this vein, I'm hoping to get some feedback that is useful from an insider/outsider's perspective--similar to this student's assessment of various technological media being used in the classroom.
