Of course, there's no right way to do that, but my concern is that teachers either wil not use the machine or will use it simply as an exchange for paper/pencil activities neither of which will accomplish the purpose for which the machines were developed.

Tambien me asusta estar tan lejos del soporte tecnkico y el sobrecosto que esto nos puede generar.

Empowering teachers to believe that learning is our mission and they determine effective curriculum for students. Students must be given time to process, reflect, and correct in order to hard wire those neurons. More learning takes place through failure than through success for all of us. I know that in Birmigham we will need to have a commitment for goal -setting , action plans, and the establishment of learning communities for teachers with teachers and/or small student groups.
