*Not all schools have 1:1 devices or equity with technology.
*In our district it's highly inequitable with technology and resources and also with buildings.
*Is it practical that we want all students to be experts in every area?
*We should have developmentally appropriate expectations and tasks
*.

*What about teacher engagement? At one of the elem. schools, teachers get to teach a subject they are passionate about "Innovation Day" and students sign up to take the course with a teacher/subject of choice.  It's going very well (now this will happen 1 time per month) e.g., coding, robotics, yoga, legos.
Each class has a lesson plan and 3 "must dos".
Multi-age grouping.  Each child signs up for 4 areas.

The more we can support and encourage eachother to be innovative and try new things, the more we will see this practice become contagious.  we need to be open minded to take a risk and do things a different way.

Same with our new teachers (mentees).  We need to encourage them to be creative and be the innovators when they are suddenly paired with a team that resist and say, "we've always done it this way."

What would be the scope and sequence of learning?  What are the KUDs?

Studies show that too much screen time can be damaging to kids; pediatricians tell parents to limit a child's screen time to 2 hours per day. Studies show that kids are on a screen anywhere between 6-8 hours a day. Schools are pushing 1 to 1 devices and demanding more tasks be done with technology (ie screens). Where is the balance? I think this is an important disconnect that needs to be addressed on a larger level.

Are all tasks improved through technology? Are there skills that technology can't enhance/teach?

Kids are spending the majority of their time at home on digital devices. If they are spending a lot of time at school where does the balance come in?

We need to teach kids to access technology better. Its not just having the device, it is learning how to USE it in a meaningful way.

What if you are the only teacher in your grade or building who is transforming the task effectively? You get a lot of push back.

If we aren't preparing students for college and this is KNOWN, then why are we not working with colleges to inform our public schools on HOW to prepare students for college? This would be a GREAT PD idea and/or way to help shift some teaching models.

Bridge to Curriculum and Standards...how does that work in this trans-formative teaching?

We need to think about not just transferring the "task" but the process, the thinking, the product.  We have to include ALL students ( multilingual learners, students with different abilities, etc.) in this type of work and not be afraid to let kids take some of the lead, even the littles.
