7yo last night: Mom, do you know why I'm sad? Today was my last class with @SraTewes. Me: You'll have her next year. 7yo: I know, but I'll miss her. She's mi amiga.

Can we talk about the problematic prevelance of trauma porn in education PD, or are we not ready for that conversation yet?

A2 The focus for me with littles is independence. Can they start using the device w/o a ton of adult intervention to explore? That looks different at each grade level. #edtechchat

A1: Due to limited access, tech for littles pre-Covid was sporadic. Some Ts did a ton, some went to the lab 30 min/wk for literacy/math games. We didn't invest in tech or training to an extent that made it equitable. #edtechchat

A6- For the most part, we don't have the option to pay. It's free or we don't use it. #edtechchat

A5: We were already playing catch up because hardware hadn't been a priority in past years, so I'm scared. IT is amazing, admin is amazing, but our tech was already outdated. #edtechchat

A4- I want to use this as an opportunity to help my Ts focus on the why behind the tool. Rather than start with a tool, let's start with the problem. What do you hope to accomplish? How can we do that with what we already have available? #edtechchat

A3: I have learned that I need to give my Ts the tools to better choose the free tech they use. Does it enrich learning? Is it safe? Is it COPPA compliant? Is it equitable/unbiased? This is my summer project. #edtechchat

A2: The quality of programs, I believe, will actually be higher than in the past. Reluctant Ts have been pushed into the tech pool and are starting to excel. I am worried about access. If we can't replace broken devices, inequity will grow quickly. #edtechchat

A1: We are also looking for free tools wherever possible, though use of paid edtech tools is minimal outside of elementary. #edtechchat

A1: We are not replacing any EOL devices, instead planning to only replace then when they break. We are reducing our number of loaners and pushing back K-2 1:1 another year at least. #edtechchat

BREONNA TAYLOR’S MURDERERS ARE STILL FREE. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE SHE WAS SHOT IN HER OWN HOME. PLEASE DO NOT LET UP. EVERY MOVEMENT FOR BLACK LIBERATION HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH THE ERASURE OF BLACK WOMXN. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBLE TO CHANGE THAT.
