1. Having more opportunities to use computers in your instruction can impact learning in positive AND negative ways. How can you ensure students are taking advantage of all their time on computers? (Hint: it's not through Youtube or CoolMath...)
2. Utilizing technology in your instruction is not a mandate - start with what you are comfortable with and grow from there.

Now, watch below to see how other schools are using technology in ways that work!

Let me first say, this is a project in the making and it will not be completely finished until the start of the 2018-19 school year. However, you can begin using the space (far end of library next to my office) next week!
