It's official! My classroom was approved to host one of the Digital Conversion pilot programs next school year!!
What does this mean for you? Well, for my students, you will be using an iPad regularly during class. It will be essential that you know your RCPS issued Google Account login and password. We will use Google websites (specifically Google Classroom and Google Drive) daily, and your login will be required. For the parents, your student's homework assignments might look different than they have in the past. Although an internet connection at home is not required to be successful and punctual with work, it will definitely be beneficial to have access to a WiFi connection.
As we get closer to the 2015-2016 school year, I'll add more information about the programs and applications I will be using regularly in class. I encourage my students to download these free apps to be able to access and follow along with our classroom activities at home. Parents, if you have any questions or concerns about what this technology opportunity that your student will have, please feel free to contact me!
