Bright Bytes FOR CERTIFIED STAFF ONLY
Dear Teachers,
Our school will once again partner with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, to learn more about our technology use for student learning. In order to better show our growth over the several months and showcase the impact of our initiatives, we will refresh the data we collected last semester in November.
Our goal is to gather metrics on technology access and skills, and on our school’s technology environment, to further understand the connection between technology integration and student achievement.
We will once again be asking students in grades 3-12 and all teachers to participate in the project by providing input via a short questionnaire.
Your participation is vitally important to us, and it provides us with a complete understanding of our school’s technology integration efforts. During the dates of March 19-29, please keep an eye out for an email from me with more information.
Thank you,
Stacy
