Reflections: RottInteresting, exciting or surprising results

• Amazing to see students collaboratively problem solving (technology and class concepts) 

• Organization for both students and I is greatly increased

Anecdotal Evidence

• 1:1 device ratio provides the opportunity, and challenge, to completely change the way curriculum is presented 

• Paperless Classroom

Questions & Challenges

• I like Chromes, but.....• Training students to use various technological tools took longer

than expected

Reflections - ChildersInteresting, exciting or surprising results

• Comfort level range increased   • How low can you go...initial scores surprising, second opportunity

still surprising.• Achievement gap in our assessments not large

Anecdotal Evidence

• A standardized rubric standardized what they aren't reading • Paperless classroom requires a change in emphasis.  Our

instruction needs to adapt.

Questions & Challenges

• Dan's the man...does every one have one? • What is the equity of rolling this out on a larger scale?  Is it fair

not to?
