Chapter 1: The Digital Classroom
- Media consent: we talked about the importance using students’ photographs with parents permission.
- Reflected on the ideas: iPad can’t be uninvented, it is part of our students’ lives. Teachers should play with technology.
- The importance of having conversations with colleagues about the developmentally appropriate use of technology. Share these reflections with parents through webpage or open house. (Gaby O.)
- Alondra shared that she found the video “Where can children access information” useful.
- Rosas posed the question of how could we involve parents in our philosophy of using technology: The importance of making informed and appropriate decisions about whether, when, and how to us technology with young children, and how to support parents and families as they wrestle with choices related to screen time, access to digital media, and technology use.
- Solana mentioned that she liked the books perspective: … the opportunities for co-viewing and co-media engagement that many tools and media offer and encourage. We can use technology as a tool to connect us and to bring adults and children back together rather than to force them apart.
- María offered to sort all the apps that our iPads have by areas.
- Pili shared a reflection on the many different uses of technology: special needs, communication, inspiration and gathering information.
- I told the teachers that the forms are already converted into Word documents (they were PDF’s) and that they can find them in Sharepoint.
