A1: Only hold back, lack of tech for some Ss, hard when not equitable #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Apr 23 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1: I think the blow back Ps seem to be giving about not having the right filters, etc. #OrEdChat

A1: I don't like sending iPads home because I want kids out playing, being involved in community, having dinner w/family #OrEdChat

KatieJMcNamara Apr 23 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1 Home access is a problem. Internet shouldn't make a line of haves and have nots. #oredchat

Time for Q1! Last night of #KidsDeserveIt! #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Definitely!! Could totally be avoided by not sending them home. There is also issues with charging, leaving them, & breakage #OrEdChat

In reply to @KathiSueSummers

MsLaurenMertz Apr 23 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1: Never asked if I could. Assumed the answer would be "no". #OrEdChat

Q2 is in 1 minute!! #OrEdChat

tishrich Apr 23 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: We don't have option of sending home tech with kids, but too many other demands on kids time. No need to add another thing. #oredchat

MViTDiTeach Apr 23 @ 11:39 PM EDT

I had assumed yes, then told no, not such a fun place #OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz

KatieJMcNamara Apr 23 @ 11:39 PM EDT

Family time shouldn't suffer because of school demands #oredchat

In reply to @hmarrs24

SteinbrinkLaura Apr 23 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: We're a rural school, so we have limited options to send tech home, but Ss can checkout laptops from library. #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Apr 23 @ 11:39 PM EDT

That is why when I was teaching I never assigned outside work. #OrEdChat

In reply to @KatieJMcNamara

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Here's Q2 #OrEdChat!

MViTDiTeach Apr 23 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A2: Haven't sent home tech, tech assignments, done by about 1/2 Ss, allowed in class time for those w/o tech, still not all done #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Apr 23 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A2: I taught in a rural area and there was no reason to send home because nothing would be done because no access. #OrEdChat

Here's Q2 #OrEdChat!

hayes_melisa Apr 23 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Melisa from Hilliard,Ohio - 2nd grade A1. Our school doesn't allow them to take iPads home... #OrEdChat

tishrich Apr 23 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A2: I launch bakery missions giving Ss opp to demo learning in own way. Can earn XP, but has no impact on grade. Totally Optional #oredchat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A2: Only because I was required to. Problem: Ss would forget their iPad which disrupted our lessons & projects the next day. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Here's Q2 #OrEdChat!

SteinbrinkLaura Apr 23 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2: Rarely . I have had Ss need to finish a paper or project, but I prefer making myself/room/resources available instead. #OrEdChat

MsLaurenMertz Apr 23 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2: I haven't sent tech home. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:40 PM EDT

KatieJMcNamara Apr 23 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2 Students do rough drafts at home to allow time for peer editing. Students see value and appreciate time #oredchat

kinderkfoley Apr 23 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2: I've sent books home. They typically come back #oredchat #kidsdeserveit I figure if not, they need it more than I do.

MViTDiTeach Apr 23 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3: Not sure. Don't know if any of my Ps have had an issue, maybe higher grade levels have had some #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Apr 23 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3: Loaded is right!! We never sent home so no issues. But, issues @ school. Sign a Contract. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3: We have had LOTS of neg feedback lately which has caused our district to change our filters a lot. Has caused issues w/lessons #OrEdChat

KatieJMcNamara Apr 23 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A3 Wish parents knew they have the right to be concerned of filters and such #oredchat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:44 PM EDT

Here's a loaded question! Are you ready #OrEdChat??

hayes_melisa Apr 23 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A3. My parents have never brought up concerns.. #OrEdChat

SteinbrinkLaura Apr 23 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A3: Not been a much of a problem for us. Ss and Ps sign the Acceptable Use Policy at the beginning of the year. So no surprises.#OrEdChat

MsLaurenMertz Apr 23 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A3: I don't know about P concerns. Our district has pretty strong (is that the right term?) filters. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:44 PM EDT

Here's a loaded question! Are you ready #OrEdChat??

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A3: I wish they would just let us keep them at school where we can teach dig cit in a safe place..way less parent issues that way. #OrEdChat

MViTDiTeach Apr 23 @ 11:47 PM EDT

Ps sign AUP, but nothing specific, Ts have added to when needed #OrEdChat

In reply to @KathiSueSummers

kinderkfoley Apr 23 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A3: Not sure--I did hear Ts wanting content blocked so family members don't use it. Not sure how I feel about that #OrEdChat #kidsdeserveit

hmarrs24 - Moderator Apr 23 @ 11:44 PM EDT

Here's a loaded question! Are you ready #OrEdChat??
