What opportunities do you provide for your students so their creativity can be expressed?
How has the use of technology changed for both you and your students since you’ve begun Distance Learning?
How does the use of technology aid your collection and analyzation of data and then impact your direct instruction?
In what ways do you/your school promote digital citizenship and safety behind screens?
What do you/your school do to help its staff keep up to date with the latest technology (devices, websites, apps etc) that can be used to enhance student learning?

Applications that were previously being used did not have good tracking systems.
Introduction of new platforms digitally.
Student Creativity
Inquiry Based School
End target but no direct path
Digital Integration Lessons
Exposure to new APPS/Platforms
For each unit, a real life/design activity is always incorporated
Benefits of Technology
