I was at Peoria Elementary School last week for the 100 Mini Trial Kick-off (another post). We had our meeting in the library where they have an interactive white board and a projector. The area in the library is set up like a classroom and this is where Peoria students participate in learning. This is also where the Peoria staff comes together for learning.
What struck me today is they had bins/totes on the tables and inside there were scissors, crayons, pencils, pens and Activ Expressions (aka clickers). Technology in our district is now starting to be just as common as the tools that have been in classrooms for decades. This is a great example of how technology is having an impact in learning environments across the district.
Peoria uses the response systems with students and staff during professional learning. They have a broad range of uses and this just shows me how technology can be infused into practices and become a common tool. As Dan Davis, our Chief Information Officer, has said, “We want students to have some type of mobile device that is so common that a student does not even notice they have one.”
How used and worn is your technology?
