One Way Learning STOPS and Students LOSE
One Way Learning STOPS and Students LOSE
I love the quote from Maya Angelou…

When you know better… you do better!
I wanted to share with you what a teacher shared with me about apps and electronic devices. I know it has been an issue in my daughter’s education. I hope KNOWING this information will benefit your child.

The Teacher said…
”One thing that stops learning and is very frustrating for teachers… Are many parents want us to use apps and devices, and there are TONS of them. In most school districts, however, training is very minimal and if the teacher is not tech savvy, then getting handed a device and having no idea how to use it only hurts the child. To ASSUME the staff knows how to use any particular device means your child may not be getting much use out of it.”
It could be as long as five months into the year with NO training on the app or device, and then the student REALLY loses.
Teachers can’t “try it out on the student” when they have no idea how to use it.
