**We must___**
Group A

•	More laptop carts – must have laptops for our students (or look into having MS and US have their own laptops) •	Time as a school to look at how we can move forward in technology – what subjects, etc. •	It would enable our students to connect globally with people who have like minded interests •	Communicating with strangers – continue to tell our children not to talk with strangers. Safety? Plus, stranger is influencing our children’s thinking in a blog. •	Realize that we are all in it together •	No one is the “master” of all knowledge •	Information changes constantly •	Help to teach kids how to find information •	Important not to ignore how our world is changing, but look for ways to implement these changes in our classroom. Ask –1) how can we better prepare our students; 2) what do we           want our students to know before they leave our Collegiate campus and go out into the world? •	Who can we collaborate with to enrich our classrooms – explore the options! •	Educate our children to exist in this changing world without losing personal interaction, respect for others, kindness (face-to-face) •	Take advantage of all the technology – but how do we know what’s accurate? Are some of these people quacks? How do we know that we want these people to influence our children? •	For teacher -- time allotted to technology 1)	We need time to learn “new” technology practices 2)	We need to have time to implement these new practices 3)	We would need a “blog planning period” – time to maintain new practices
