[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher in another district in MD, not MCPS. These scores are worth an applause. Please understand where we started. We can not expect scores to go from 0 to 100 in a year. MCPS is trending upwards. That is a good sign. What they are doing is working. It will take many years to see the true outcome, not just one year. Yes there are still things that need to be tweaked. CHROMEBOOKS WERE FOR DISTANCE LEARNING. We have been back in the classroom for a couple years now. Why do we still have chromebooks? Students have tech class, so yes they will still understand the basics of computer operations. Everything is on the chromebooks now. The live teacher led lesson? Smart board and videos. Group work? Use the chromebooks. Test? On the chromebook. Interventions and services? On the computer. It is crazy. We no longer allow our students to think, problem solve, work with one another. Students do not need basic foundational skills in math or reading if they are being given a device. I will say it again, as I always do on this board. Show up and show out to remove the technology from the classrooms. You and I learned without computers yet we still know how to use technology.[/quote]
