Thanks for your response. We have been discussing the ISTE standards a lot
lately. I completely appreciate using many different tools and having
teachers decide what works for them. We, too, have gotten away from saying
things like 5th grade needs to cover spreadsheets, etc. because if it's
not meaningful to the curriculum, it's meaningless in the classroom. Our
Academic Tech Coordinator has a weekly meeting (tech byte) with every
teacher in the Lower School. They explore tools and plan together. This
has really worked. I only wish I could clone her so that she could work
for with Middle/ Upper School Faculty too.
