Perspectivers on Technology by Robert Wright https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v Create a “sticky tab” note/reflection from the perspective of a learner, a parent, and a principal or colleague, sharing questions that might come from each of these stakeholders. Add sticky tabs with your responses to their queries or concerns, referring to your experience with students and virtual play during times of online learning. en-us 2022-10-10 21:10:27 UTC 2025-10-24 04:34:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4f1.png Learner Question robertwright6 https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v/wish/2334207278 Why can I only use these apps, I get to use different apps at home on my tech?]]> 2022-10-10 21:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v/wish/2334207278 Response to Learner question robertwright6 https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v/wish/2334207765 Great question, I like that you’ve thought about these apps we are using in our class.  I’ve carefully picked these so you can better understand our learning goals and what I’ve taught during our lessons.  They are there as a tool to help you learn and practice certain skills that we have been working on in class.  It should be fun .  You can learn to be more independent, feel more confident and in charge of your own learning]]> 2022-10-10 21:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v/wish/2334207765 Parent Question robertwright6 https://padlet.com/robertwright6/spfaodr4x7je8v8v/wish/2334208503  I am not clear why my child needs to use this technology or app in the classroom.  There is already too much ”screen time” in my opinion, could there be more opportunity for interaction with you the Teacher.

I’m guided by the four principles below and the thought:

Principles

  • Guiding Principle #1: Technology—when used appropriately—can be a tool for learning.
  • Guiding Principle #2: Technology should be used to increase access to learning opportunities for all children.
  • Guiding Principle #3: Technology may be used to strengthen relationships among parents, families, early educators, and young children.
  • Guiding Principle #4: Technology is more effective for learning when adults and peers interact or co-view with young children.


Thought

  Technology can engage children in key skills of play, self expression and computational thinking.
