      Or the essential question(s) answered at the end of the unit in an ePortfolio--very easy to have kids do to reflect on their own learning and take ownership of it!

      Todd, weren't we having this conversation when I told you I would be meeting with ES parents about ipad and balance (technology) and safety in the home?
  • we immediately had a website created as a place for all of them to go. This was great, but it was just a start. They also needed a way to communicate and share their concerns. We began to host some “town-hall” style forums as a way to open up the lines of communication.

      I think it is great to have a website, town-hall style meetings, etc. but I think bringing in the parents when the kids begin their formal BYOD program in early August prior to the kickoff of school is the way to go...Parent AND student orientation. This is when we have the conversations and practice balance, managing time, what is real learning with devices versus games and then of course, safety so parents are reinforcing what we ought to be teaching (and by we I mean ALL teachers) to kids about use of personal devices.

      This is a phenomenal site! I get so much from them, and I know we use it here, as I have used in the past with PK-12 Digital Citizenship lessons.

      This goes along with Mr. Centra's comment about wanting some PD/training on how to teach in a digital learning environment. This is not a challenge that can be approached from one single direction. We want students to be empowered by technology, but teaching them that there is a time and a place depending on the learning goals is utlimately the challenge for the dgital 21st educator in my opinion.
  • Recently, when teaching this strategy of incorporating backchannels, a participant raised an interesting question: "What happens when a student has to speak up without the aid of a screen?"

      Honestly, I think backchannels are what we should be using during our own meetings, as there are so many times when we have comments or questions but we don't have the opportunities to address them at that moment. I had this idea during last week's MS/HS Divisional meeting while Mr. Centra was talking with us.

  • However, what if students explored in the physical world, watched Grover, and then created their own videos to demonstrate their understanding of these abstract concepts? What if they published these videos to a class website or blog to interact with a broader audience and extend the learning context beyond the classroom?
  • Students should learn to interact in a face-to-face setting, experience the physical world and go outside. However, much like we cannot say that all television rots our brains, we need to look beyond saying that all screen time is bad for our students. To do that, I like to ask three questions: Is it appropriate? Is it meaningful? Is it empowering?
