Just to set the stage for you - this is our meeting last Friday to present the data collected at our school during the new Chromebook pilot.  The first three you see on screen are Mr. Hamrick, principal of Landrum Middle School, Dr. Vinson, and me.  Dr. Vinson is my supervisor for this field study.  She has been a great mentor to me.  Since she arrived earlier than the others, I did take the opportunity to share more about my experiences with her before the others arrived.  

I tried something new for this video.  Our meeting lasted about 35 minutes or more.  I condensed that down for you by editing out some parts of the meeting.  Instead of straight cuts, I increased the clip speed of those "condensed" scenes.  It is still quite a bit longer than what I usually like to produce for you.  I included most of the footage of my two student reviewers because I really liked that Dr. Pryor wanted to hear directly from a couple of students.  I chose them because they are both very intelligent but had differing opinions on which device the district should purchase.

Follow up:  I solicited the help of one of our seventh-grade teachers.  She found a handful of the HP G6s were missing a screw.  None of the screws were missing from the Lenovos.

Here is a quick update on the completion of Phase I of our Chromebook pilot, as well as the beginning of Phase II of our Chromebook pilot.  More updates coming soon!
