#akedchat

Kate_Muelling Apr 17 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A2: If we do it equitably, any kid who needs help, gets it. Not based on groups or our idea of who might need it. #akedchat

WalterMuelling Apr 17 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A2 Prioritizing groups seems like playing favorites, but I do tend to make sure my kids in villages don't get overlooked. #akedchat

Tch2LrnAK Apr 17 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1: Accessibility means all can reach or obtain -- Ss, Ts, Ls, everyone. #akedchat

saminjuneau Apr 17 @ 11:03 PM EDT

#akedchat #LetsGetStarted

Kate_Muelling Apr 17 @ 11:13 PM EDT

#akedchat Agreed. We alter what is necessary for the student, we don't expect the student to alter themselves to learn.

In reply to @nick_schumacher

saminjuneau Apr 17 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A2 #akedchat For me it goes beyond SWD to ELLs, disconnected students, Ss with challenging behaviors...

saminjuneau Apr 17 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2 I do think its important to name communities of Ss - to tailor the strategy of inclusion and access #akedchat

#akedchat I see community libraries as having a positive role to play in democratizing access.

In reply to @spiraledu

Tch2LrnAK Apr 17 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Agreed @nick_schumacher Ss will find info they want and need. Ts must support tech as tool & tch responsibility -not limit access. #akedchat

No idea, but I assume the kids that take them have internet at home. Our public library is open until 9pm and has free wifi, too. #akedchat

equity is a huge factor. We have Ss who lose their school device as a consequence (not my fave), so I use #byod 2 keep rolling! #akedchat

In reply to @Tch2LrnAK

Tch2LrnAK Apr 17 @ 11:36 PM EDT

A5.2: @crsdak has worked hard to ensure device equity for all. As result, every S in every CR has tons of opps to learn via tech. #akedchat
