Once you have read the article, please click on Comments below these instructions on this SUSD technology blog, log in using your Google (Gmail) account, read any preceding Comments, and add your own. In your Comment, please respond to the following questions:

1. Please write a general response to the Adopt and Adapt article. How does this article pertain to the future of educational technology in SUSD? Feel free to respond to previous comments' responses to this prompt.
2. What is going well with the technology in your classroom? If you have things that are NOT going well with technology in your classroom, please email me privately.
   
3. How has the use of technology in your classroom changed the way that you teach, run your classroom, or use resources for instruction?
4. This question is intentionally open-ended and is aimed toward the "advisory" portion of your mission. What training would you like to have, and what training do you think would be valuable for the teachers at your school? We plan to use these responses as a guide for planning for this summer and for next year.
   

Thank you for taking the time to complete this. You have until noon on Friday to submit your responses as part of your role on the TLAT team and/or as someone who has been assigned an instructional cart. I know that we do not have school on Friday - I'll be here in the office to read your responses, and if you need additional time after Thursday, you can have until noon on Friday. :-)
