I have two additional opportunities to talk with students in the near future. Mainly to educate the teachers, but I don’t tell the teachers that. I dug back in my past and conjured up the enGauge (popular technology program assessment tool) student interview protocols.
Think about the best teacher you ever had. What made learning in his or her classroom so great?
Do most teachers at this school teach this way?
How do your teachers use technology?
How do you use technology in your school?
How does technology help you learn?
In which classes do you use technology, what technology is used, and how is it used?
Is it easy to find a computer (or other technology) when you need it?
Where do you use technology (probe for at home and at school) and how often?
What are the school rules about using computers, the Internet, Acceptable Use Policy, copyright, and other matters?
Is there anything else we should know?
If you had an afternoon to talk and listen with students, what additional questions would you ask?

“WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE GET OUT OF MY OFFICE FOR FIVE MINUTES SO I COULD GET SOME WORK DONE!?!?! SHEEEEESH!”
Principal’s Office — not exactly a scary place at SLA.
Here’s what I’d ask:
What are some ways we can help adults who are pretty non-tech-savvy better understand the educational power of this Web 2.0 interactive technology stuff?
