Kids Deserve It! Chapter Twenty-Nine
Send Them Home! Though sending technology home with our students may not be an option quite yet, consider teaching children how technology has changed over the years! :) Think of what we can do here at school to enhance the use of technology in our students' homes! Reach out, connect with kids, and encourage them to share their technological skills with their families! Have fun and be sure to share opportunities (in person, via a type-written letter, with pics or in videos) with one another; when one of us learns, we all learn! Our Kids Deserve It!
