A Principal's Reflections

SEPTEMBER 4, 2016

Using technology-- usage tends to be random, arbitrary, and sometimes an afterthought. The key word is INTEGRATE. What worked well?

At a most basic level, Technology = Information Access. We are comfortable handing every student a textbook so that they can access information for learning and yet we still debate the value of handing every student an Internet connected device for accessing information for learning.
