Technology has the potential to be a useful educational tool, but only if there is sufficient planning and teacher training. The hope that the fundamental problems with APS 1:1 can be fixed without a pause is touchingly optimistic but woefully misguided.
Why is this important?
I have three children, two of whom were given devices for which they have no demonstrated need. Arlington has wonderful teachers. They deserve a 1:1 program that has been developed to meet their needs and implemented with sufficient training for them and sufficient transparency for the rest of the community.
