Beginning February 23, 2015 - Feedback
  • Posted to Facebook
  • Emailed to former librarian
  • Showed to coworkers at school

Feedback Received as of February 28, 2015
  • Facebook - not much response. Mostly just general, positive remarks such as "Great job!" and "What a great idea."
  • Email from librarian - "Looks good. I would add some pictures to break up all the text."
  • Face to face feedback from coworkers - suggested I change the music to something a bit more upbeat and not quiet so monotone. Also thought pictures would help. They also suggested the addition of equal partnership and support to different areas when I asked them what they thought the most important aspects of collaboration were.

Script - Revised 2/28/15 The revision shows what changes were made.
