 Being a literate individual is fundamental to academic, professional, and personal success. The development of strong readers and writers should be a top priority in every school. This is especially important in our technology-driven world. Students must master traditional literacy skills as well as possess the abilities needed to navigate through the new literacies of today. All educators should be helping children question, learn, and make sense of the world around them through reading.
Join #EdChatRI Sunday night at 8 pm and guest moderator Amanda Grundel (@AGrundel), Reading Specialist - Smithfield, as she leads a discussion on this very important topic. Remember we are all teachers of literacy.

 "The rapid development and progress of new technology tools and applications, especially online and “cloud-based” services, introduces new challenges and concerns about the safety and security of student information. Managing student data privacy and security is an ongoing and dynamic process that will require regular review and revision by teachers and administrators. Schools also need to be transparent with parents about the services being used with students and involve parents in conversations about privacy and security." - Paul Barrette
