These rich conversations were just not taking place due to the pressure-filled environment that has been created as a result of education reform in this state. Be present!

Last week my school was fortunate to have the NJ School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool. I was also adamant that social media had no place in an educational setting, but most of you who read this blog know about my radical change of mind in regards to this.

A few weeks ago, I made a commitment to visit schools that are using social media, smartphones, texting, and other digital technologies, as a vital part of daily classroom instruction. The only criterion that I had was the school had to be entrenched in their use of the above-mentioned technologies.

Now, as 1:1 and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) are taking over our schools, it's becoming even easier to formatively assess what our students know and for our students to leave feedback as to what they need because of this ready access to technology. The technology certainly helps but isn't always necessary.
