I'm crazy about technology. Some would just say I'm crazy. Whatever the case, the intermediate teachers, Vice Principal Muir and Principal Slater met today. We discussed electronics in the classroom. You know I have been letting you bring your 'gadgets' in to my classroom, because you have been using them responsibly; using them for researching your ecosystems, taking pictures, etc. This cannot continue. Only students who have laptops and tablets, with written permission from their parents/guardians, can bring them in. You do not have permission to bring in your iPods, phones, etc. Sigh... I truly understand where Administration is coming from. There are liability issues, etc. In a perfect world, everyone would have a Chromebook. Please respect Admin's wishes: no phones or iPods, etc. in class.
We'll get there - hopefully someday soon.
