The session will be hosted by the principal and the building based tech coaches. With the recent trend in many schools eliminating cell phones during instructional time we wanted to further our goal of a balanced approach and empower teachers to take it one step further. We compiled a start to finish year long plan to implement a monthly tech free day in the middle school in which students are also asked to put chromebooks to the side and bring the educational and personal experience of the classroom "Back to Basics". Together we compiled teacher resources, research, deliberate activities that promote connectivity, and ideas to get started!
