@MrsKimStout@youtheduteach Thats what they said when we put in our order so we put it on hold to educate ourselves on which better serves our needs. We will see. Both seem like good options.
A3 we are looking at getting smart-boards or interactive projectors now! We haven't decided which will meet our needs best yet. We went for a demo of smart-boards today and the projectors tomorrow. #hsd1chat
A1: For the tech we use I think my first graders have tons of skills. Start of year is rocky with the usernames/passwords but they catch on quick

@youtheduteach I think third grade is different than first for homework. When the student has something specific to work on I will send it home, but not a math worksheet every Tuesday or something like that.
Q3 I don't assign homework. I expect them to read and practice spelling. I believe I work the first graders hard all day, home time is for family not more work. #HSD1chat
A2 I use whole brain teaching and it has really made a difference in classroom management. Gives kids ownership and keeps them busy so behaviors decline. #HSD1chat
