No shame for ipad not charged or running out of charge at school.

Charging stations in classrooms with long cords allowing student to be away from wall and still participate in class.    My student reported being unable to see classroom activity while charging device due to hugging the wall.  I

t is realistic to expect young ones to need to charge on occasion.  (we all do).

My student reports that the charger in his backpack does not work well at school (always works at home--student says some school outlets work and others do not ).  Lack of device charge costs valuable learning time in class due to charging issue.

This creates frustration and more homework.  Trust me that we work on the responsibility of keeping the ipad charged.

Yes- more differentiation and training for students from classroom teacher requiring use of specific app prior to assignment in order to facilitate ease and reduce frustration for student.   No need to add frustration to a project or add time to homework for black hole problem solving apps and interface with google etc.

ways to save student assignments for the long haul-

easy access to printing for students as needed

Similar to above but maybe easier: have students find existing apps and customize them for their classes.  They can learn how the apps work and teach the teachers how to use them.  Again, good for the teachers and a reinforcement of learning for the kids.  This could be a club, a contest, or for volunteer hours, if not a class for credit.

I would love to see the students designing the apps needed to teach what they are learning.  Perhaps have a class in each grade that develops the apps for the prior grade.  That would help the teachers and the students in the grade as well as provide reinforcement for students building apps on what they learned in the prior year.  The kids are more likely to take to this than the adults

- collaborative learning

- instant feedback

- interaction - in the classroom and at home

Please encourage uniformity amongst teachers. Not all teachers are using the same applications, which makes it difficult to track all class assignments in an efficient way. Some applications do not seem to have parent access, which makes it difficult to track my student's progress/due dates.

Improve application quality-- some applications are buggy and quit mid-assignment. This has been very frustrating for my student.

Improve availability--Online textbooks were not completely available the first week or two of school and my student did not have materials to study from although assignments and tests were being administered.

We need more storage/space/capacity for what students create

Jana - Somewhat. It's not meant to be a teacher evaluation tool, but our principals are using it as a way of encouraging our teachers to move our tech usage to the transformative level.

Is EISD utilizing the SAMR model to measure where we are with technology usage?

Consistency of work productivity tools

More consistency in apps used between classes. My son has different apps for simple word processing in different classes. Less is more

Work done on iPads can't be readily sent home to continue or work on with parents since the iPads stay at school.

Teacher and parent training. Specifically training teachers how to generalize skills and technology usage to differentiate instruction for all learners.

Parents (at least in K-5) don't get to see much of the output/artifacts other than grades afterwards.

Consider a variety of device options based on student's needs and ability to use technology
