Wow! Grace, I 100% agree. I have a good friend who works in the field of IT. He is constantly talking about learning new protocols to keep his company's product competitive. Teaching is no different. Just because we have learned in the time of pencils and textbooks - does not mean we need to continue teaching out student this way. We need to not be afraid of being a novice - and just get after the technology. I can't wait to read more about this and other topics on your blog!!
Hi Grace! I attempted to post a comment last night. It seems it wasn't yet approved. Let me take a moment a restate my agreement with this graphic and headline. Yes! Technology is the future! We are no longer bound to file cabinets and paper assessment. We can now unlock students potential at the individual level using our many digital resources. Keep at it! Sarah
