Just Because....

Just because you don't know how to use BookShare or Learning Ally doesn't mean your students don't need these resources to independently access grade-level books.

Just because you read all text to your developing (struggling, dyslexic) readers doesn't mean this promotes independence.

Just because you are a "(insert preference) district" doesn't mean your students will not need access to a variety of devices and features as part of their free and appropriate education (FAPE).

Just because you are a "Chrome district" doesn't mean your students will not need access to iOS devices for specific unique features which promote student learning, success, and independence.

Just because you are a "Microsoft district" doesn't mean your students will not need features of Google Docs/Drive/Classroom or features in iPads.

Just because you may be comfortable with paper worksheets and holding books doesn't mean that's what works best for your students.

Think different. Your students depend on it.
