My PLN Supports @StElizabethHigh

I am always amazed by the willingness of educators to share their expertise on Twitter when others are looking for advice. Here is another example from yesterday when I was working with staff at St. Elizabeth's High School in Wilmington, DE.

   @patrickmlarkin @stelizabethhigh make iPad a choice for some activities-some students will still prefer paper and pencil for some activities

   @patrickmlarkin Remind @StElizabethHigh that it is not about the tool but about the tasks they are asking students to use them for.

    @patrickmlarkin @stelizabethhigh Do not force specifics- apps, timelines, etc. Give lots of choice to do what works best to enhance lrng.
