  • Because we were not just standing and talking at kids, many of the classroom management problems evaporated.
  • . Because students are coming with the primary focus on learning, there are two real questions now: Is each student learning? If not, what can we do to help them learn? 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.

High school tries going paperless in pilot program : Sj - 0 views

  • "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
       
      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? 
  • "The kids will have Internet access wherever they are in the building,"
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Okay, but will there be an equity issue for some students when they are at home? You can't flip a classroom if some kids have sketchy dial-up access from home, or no internet access.
  • the Androids are set up to contain graphing and science calculators, both of which can cost $75 to $100 if purchased as separate items in stores
