During recent building instructional review visits to Cañon City High School and Mckinley Elementary, it was quite encouraging to see the varied ways staff are employing Chromebooks in the learning engagement process.
A fear for any organization that puts a one-to-one program into place is either the devices will be greatly underused, or just as damaging, way too overused. What we observed in both buildings is a bit of a Goldilocks approach taking hold, where quality teacher-facilitated instruction is still what matters most, and where Chromebooks are simply used as a learning resource. We wish to thank our staff for the thoughtful way they are using technology to support student learning, and the hard work they are doing to make it possible!
