1. Can you help me understand how technology fits into your overall teaching approach, and what role it plays in a typical school day?
2. I'm curious how you decide when technology is the best way to teach something versus more traditional, hands-on approaches. Could you share an example?
3. One thing I'm trying to encourage at home is independent thinking and problem-solving. How do you balance technology use with opportunities for students to work through challenges on their own?
4. How are you able to tell when a technology-based activity is helping students learn better than they would through another approach?
5. I'm trying to be thoughtful about screen time at home, especially at this age. Could you help me understand how screen time is considered and balanced throughout the school day?
6. With AI becoming more common in education, I'm curious how it's being introduced or used in the classroom, and what safeguards are in place to make sure students are developing their own skills and understanding.
7. I'm curious how technology decisions are made across the school. Are there shared expectations for how it's used at each grade level, or is that something individual teachers determine?
8. I've noticed that kids can be really engaged with technology. How do you distinguish between activities that keep students interested and activities that help them develop a deeper understanding of the material?
9. I can see some of the websites and time spent on devices through GoGuardian, but I'd love to better understand the learning behind those activities. What's the best way for me to stay informed about how technology is supporting classroom instruction?
10. I want to support the learning habits you're building in the classroom. What can I do at home to reinforce those skills, particularly when it comes to balancing technology with independent, hands-on learning?
