Most educational technologies improve accessibility for teachers and students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053767 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053767 Overall, I would like to utilize technology to provide more real-world learning opportunities for students and build a professional network.

Some methods of collaboration with other JIA teachers have been F2F, Bb, Zoom.us, phone, text, email, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053752 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053752 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 07:43:56 -0400 The policies at JIA allow flexibility for students and teachers, but discourage students and teachers from falling behind. The policies put students first, allowing flexibility in learning styles, location, and pacing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053751 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053751 I also liked the "fail forward" concept. I feel that policies allow teachers to do what is best for students, even if it means taking risks. Tue, 14 Aug 2018 07:35:28 -0400 The statement that "you need people" resonates with me. You need people to work together systematically, to make successful and effective use of educational technology. People put the technology into effective use, not the technology driving change. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053647 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1053647 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 13:27:16 -0400
