About the Digital Classroom
I am incredibly excited to be one of the GCISD digital classroom pilot teachers! What this means is that my students will have the digital tools necessary to approach learning in a whole new way in my classroom. It also means that I, along with my fellow pilot teachers, will have the opportunity to chart the course for developing the digital classroom in GCISD.
While the content of my course(s) will not change, the manner in which my students access information and construct meaning from it will look different. Each of my students will have a Chrome book to use in class every day.
You may be thinking, “Well this is what my child does at home every day!” We acknowledge that fact, and now we will have the ability to match the level of technology use many of our students enjoy every day outside of school. In my class we will rely less on print resources such as textbooks and worksheets, so what your child brings home every night including homework assignments will look different.
My commitment to you and your child is that I will utilize these digital tools to enhance the education of our students to the greatest extent possible while equipping them with the skills needed for success in the 21st Century. This promises to be an incredibly exciting school year, and I will keep you informed of our progress toward digital citizenship. Hopefully, your child will do the same on a daily basis!
