Technology is a resource that should not be prioritized above learning, but should foster learning. Digital Literacy (I believe) the new tool used to create disparities within communities, certain job opportunities and therefore gaps in society (the digital divide). For this reason, I believe that as much as I would like to spend less time learning so that I can teach my students how to use technology as a resource, it's crucial for their future.

It is important that schools seek grants to acquire technology. I will check with my principal about some that she was able to get so that all students had Chromebooks (They were not allowed to take them home, so they use them in school).

We have Town Meeting several times a month where one grade or class presents on what they're learning about. We also have open classroom once a month, where parents join us for morning meeting and some sort of craft or activity. My school uses Remind to communicate and share information and pictures.

Communicating the broader importance/meaning of the work you are doing in your classroom - finding connections across culture, shared goals with the parents, what is meaningful to them

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should have clear goals in mind that technology can then help meet -- NOT changing goals to meet technology. If a goal focuses on increasing student collaboration, then the technology selected should be designed for this function. If a goal focuses on communicating in various ways with families, then the technology selected should facilitate this task. Changing goals to then use new technology does not reflect intentional planning and preparation aimed at engaged learning.

Teachers need to be comfortable inputting and analyzing data, whether it's in excel, google sheets, or another program.

We have smartboards in all rooms, chromebooks for every students, and open access ChatGpt for the campus.

Technology should reduce teacher work not increase it. Teachers need to know how to use AI productively (e.g., developing rubric drafts, developing lesson ideas/brainstorming, drafting assessment items...all of these activities can increase the quality of teacher work and also reduce workload.

Digital Literacy is a must

Professional and asset based language. Ground conversations in data and provide a path forward.

Making some case study videos of parents that students can practice with would be useful.

A growth mindset is extremely important: Teachers must be willing to take specific micro-credentials of specific programs: Google Classroom, learning ISTE, using the NYC DOE DIIT website, ILearn, The Modern Classroom

varies by teacher and school.

Google classroom profiency should be required.

I would recommend the teacher prep program USE tech Tools (padlet, peardeck, etc) throughout the course to expose candidates to the different things that are out there

Humility and respect are foundational blocks to communicating and fostering relationship with families, guardians, and kids' grown-ups. Teachers and other folks who work in schools must approach families as partners in their work and design the school to be a shared space instead of an institution closed to people who are outside of it. This work has to be culturally responsive to the community and neighborhood surrounding the school. The families should see themselves in the school and its components: curriculum, communication, etc.

Students and staff need to be taught how to use AI.

We have a family Friday each month. We offer parent workshops through our parent university. We communicate through ClassDojo, text, and social media.

Limited! I'm not into using it. Students need to understand how computers work though: file systems, saving documents, writing reasonably professional emails, TYPING, attaching things to emails, creating cue lists, creating schedules, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
This will depend somewhat on area. In science, for example, working with sensors and probes, data analysis tools, AI is essential. But basics like google classroom, google sheets/stats etc. are needed in every class. Using response systems and other survey tools for gathering student feedback is important (and formative assessment).
