Hi - I come at this from a few angles... but most importantly, I'm a parent of a St. John student. #RCABchat

EloiseGabriel1 Feb 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

A3 For me it's getting comfortable with new apps #RCABChat

ConsidineJC Feb 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

A3 - A challenge can be making sure schools invest in teachers to build their own digital literacy proficiency. PD is so key. #RCABchat

OLAComputerLab Feb 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

A3 - Biggest challenge is to keep current, being used to convey ideas, & insuring its purpose is for good.#RCABChat
