Read The Digital Delusion book?  Excellent read. Would make a great book discussion!! 

I tried to get my super to not buy Chromebooks for students next year…go back to carts and not 1:1.

Maybe next year.

We are making a move in Colchester next year: no Chromebook home for grade 6, only home Tu-Th for gr 7, and a "Chromebook curfew" for grade 8 (Chromebook can't be logged into fro 10pm-5am)
Happy to discuss!

Good Morning,

I have been having so many conversations with other educators about how it would be so nice to have more of a balance between tech and analog teaching and learning. 

This was a recent article about reducing chromebooks in schools that was very timely.
