@alicekeeler@Gaggle_K12 They already know that they can. The response is that we are expected to use #Schoology for messaging students. Counselors and admin can go through google though. Also, students can email each other and teachers in google. Teachers just canโt message back. Itโs... interesting.
@alicekeeler@GuilesTina After reading some of the comments, I do concede that there is a need for balance here. Yes you CAN look anything up, but at the point where you are doing do repeatedly, it might be time to commit to memory.
@ericaspitzmache @alicekeeler I think sheโs been pretty clear that sheโs in favor of letting the kids have a true break and not perpetuating a system thatโs standing only on the two pillars of systemic buereaucracy โthatโs just how weโve always done itโ and โwell, what else are we supposed to doโ?
@Lin_Manuel Me, walking up to the classroom a little later than usual (~30 seconds)
Student, turning and mumbling: Man, she *is* here today.
Me: As long as you need learning, I'm here.
Student, Still turned and mumbling: How'd she hear that?
Me: I hear everything.
Student, le sigh
@alicekeeler@GetKahoot I LOVE technology in the classroom but school provided (and managed/monitored) devices only. I think this article vastly undervalues the addiction to devices and cultural passiveness towards education we're facing in the classrooms when we open the doors to personal devices.
