In the classroom, devices are used to supplement instruction in a variety of ways: teachers can now offer students time for independent practice of skills, students can now write collaboratively with their peers, teachers can offer immediate feedback to help students improve their work, student work is easily found and tracked, and students are more adept at using technology, which helps prepare them for a more technologically- driven world. Throughout the past two years, the district has learned how important it is to be able to offer face-to-face instruction to students. When Remote Instruction is necessary, the 1:1 technology allows the district to continue educating their students. Google Meet allows teachers to still meet with students. Lessons can be delivered to students at the push of a button via Seesaw, Google Classroom and/or Google Sites. Teachers can offer students real-time support from a distance. In addition, 1:1 enables teachers to deliver more personalized content to students via web programs. District #27 has purchased web program subscriptions that support the change in instructional methods such as Screencastify, IXL, eSpark, SocialStudiesWeekly, GoGuardian, and TeacherEase. With these investments in equipment and software, District #27 hopes to create students that have the necessary skills for a successful future.
