Shenandoah Visits

We had a visitor today! The students were excited to show their journals and notecards from last semester. Pictures of the artifacts were taken and opinions were shared. The professor and I discussed the wisdom of doing interviews with the students at the end of the semester instead of relying only upon the post-study surveys.

 Also, it occurred to me that, in some off-kilter way, it may be a good thing the ChromeBooks have not arrived yet. When they DO arrive, the students not only will have had the experience of trying some digital tools to do their research and documentation (a contrast from the handwritten documentation from previous semesters), they will have the contrast of going from the older technology to the newer one. Using Google Docs is one thing on our old laptops, but to then move to using Google Docs with SPEED...where they can open the lid and the device is up and running within seconds instead of a dozen of minutes...will be an amazing realization.
