maryamato	Feedback Sep 23 2009, 10:50 AM EDT I'd love to hear feedback from a teacher or librarian after the session. How was the sound? Picture? What worked? What could be more effective? Thanks! Post reply Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: feedback improving quality
mschur	1. RE: Feedback Sep 23 2009, 8:53 PM EDT Mary, the Skype session this a.m. went smoothly. We could see and hear you very well. The students enjoyed listening to you read your story aloud. It took a little while for them to realize you were really reading it and it wasn't just a recording! You asked them questions about the story and had them participate at different parts which really kept their interest. I thought it was nice that you took time to explain the reason you wrote the story too. I will most definitely recommend this to other teachers! Was there anything on our end that we could have done to make this work better for you? Thanks! Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
maryamato	2. RE: Feedback Sep 23 2009, 10:31 PM EDT Thanks. I really loved seeing the kids flap their wings!!! I'm wondering if it's a bit too long to read the whole book? Do you think it would be more valuable if I talked directly to them about where the idea came from and give them some encouragement for writing? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
mschur	3. RE: Feedback Sep 24 2009, 7:37 AM EDT For my purpose, the read aloud was just perfect. Each week I have a "mystery reader" who comes and reads to the students. They never know who it is going to be. Usually it is a parent or grandparent of one of the students. You were a real surprise though! The students know who you are and know your work, but I hadn't really prepared them for your visit as it was a surprise. When I finish reading about Lizzie, Luke, Milton, and the gang, maybe we could do another Skype and you could do a Q&A about that story with them and discuss the writing process. Then I could prepare them a little better for that type of session. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
