      More than one department from one school? Curriculum sharing between different schools in different districts? This is the true target of authentic collaboration and PLNs.

  • Technology still hasn't solved the biggest time crunch: reading, responding, and grading essays. "And let me tell you," she laughs, "My grading inbox is frightening." Nor does technology alleviate the need for her presence "They want me there, commenting. But I can't always be there as much as I want to be."

  • "We spend approximately $330 per pupil per year on textbooks," he said. "Over four years, that's over $1,500. With the Android tablet, we'll issue it to a student when he's in the ninth grade. He will have that four years. So, that's under $150 compared to $1,500."
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 11 Jul 13
       
      This point should help to "make the pitch" as district leaders love the prospect of saving money. Going paperless saves not only on textbooks, though. Reams of paper won't need to be consumed, saving on toner cartridges, service repairs to copiers, less frequent need to replace copiers. One investment for the ninth grade student lasts four years. insurance policy costs?

These are much more profound questions, and when we discuss them with parents, we move the focus to a place that will help parents understand how their students can become better learners.
