  • It is important to share all this info with our staff.

  • This conference was really needed, we need to think about our digital students and how to meet their needs.

  • Station rotaions have be in elementary for years, it only seems normal to add the digital component.

  • We need to remember to be flexible, and involbe human resources to help the classroom teacher.

  • Blended learning does not mean less teachers and placing kids on computers, it means focusing on more planning for active learning to occur.

  • Perfect for Differentiated Instruction for "ALL".

  • We need to be more innovated. 

  • We do not want this to become an online curriculum, just another tool to aid in student learning.

  • Classroom focus is on the mastering of skills and hands-on learning,

  • This will create more deeper interactions between teacher and student.  

  • Students can work at their own pace if the teacher is flexible enough.
