Hi Jenny!

Thanks for sharing this article. Our district just developed a Tech Vision committee to examine the research and best practices around this topic. We met once, and will meet several times next year, but one of the focuses is defining purposeful use of technology and what that looks like in practice.

It will be interesting to follow the progression of this issue in the media and within districts!

Have a great day,

Angela

Hi all - I'm catching up with emails and would love to have a conversation about this. At some ACES meetings I've been attending, I've heard about CT districts that are cutting all tech for K-2, which seems to me a little reactive. 

This post from AJ Juliani really resonated with me. Link

Hi Melissa & all,

Yes, I read the article this morning too. Have been following the data/articles. Also, remember Barb sharing at nErDcampCT that Colchester going back to carts. Thanks for the book rec, Laura. The Anxious Generation as well as The Chaos Machine were two books that I found valuable reads.

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.
