SylviaEllison Jul 12 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 Great question > we need balance ... both are important... I think Sts should learn to be proficient in both #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1 What are your thoughts on handwriting instruction vs. keyboarding? #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: I like options. Recently talked about how the writing process takes on new meaning with keyboarding..well sort of.. #FLEdChat

kmichellehowell - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1. I think kids need a balance of both. There may be times when they need to be able to hand write things. #FLedChat

A1: We should always need to know how to write by hand. What if technology crashes 😂 the real question for me is keyboarding #fledchat

PrincipalNyberg Jul 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

a1b. This is an area where S readiness can dictate the amount of each you offer. #fledchat

SylviaEllison Jul 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1b I still argue for balance -- 35/35/30 pencil/keyboard/choice #FLedChat

In reply to @valerietilton

Hahne_KingEle Jul 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 I believe handwriting and keyboarding should both be taught. They're both some Ss need and will use. #FLedChat

In reply to @PeppyZestyTeach, @lsanders117

Popping in late. It's summertime--no idea what day it is. Stacy, 1st Grade, Flagler. #FLedChat

L_Roadcap Jul 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Keyboarding may not be necessary - Ss may become accustomed to it in their own way. Handwriting in early grades - necessary! #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: I'm a little on the fence. I think reading/writing go hand in hand, but not sure if cursive needs to be taught extensively. #FLedChat

In reply to @PeppyZestyTeach, @lsanders117

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I actually agree. There is a lot of research to show that keyboarding instruction shouldn't begin until at least 3rd grade. #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jul 12 @ 8:20 PM EDT

I don't think S2T will ever completely replace typing, as there are times where we need to communicate quietly. Good point though! #FLedChat

lsanders117 Jul 12 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Depends on the age. KD 75/25, and then decrease from there. And then I might add what about speech-to-text?

A1: With certain standards I can see it more towards a project/research feel since it will encompass a lot of standards #fledchat

brynmw Jul 12 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: assessment should be about competencies/standards, that are about connections and transforming knowledge. Not about memory. #FLedChat

A2: Depth of understanding, critical thinking skills, problem solving, etc. #fledchat

EDUcre8ive Jul 12 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: alternate and more formative assessments will require changed to grades/transcripts. #FLedChat

L_Roadcap Jul 12 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Great question! Could be different in various content areas. For #socialstudies - research skills, critical thinking, analysis #FLedChat

Harvey_WJane Jul 12 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Standards based would be okay if like everything, it is standardized across schools nationwide. Who's to say what is mastery? #FLedChat
