"We were very happy with EasyTech. It worked with theexternal keyboards, it worked on the iPad, it was age appropriate, and ittaught them how to type rather than just having them practice typing."

"The nice thing about Inquiry is that it moves students toward higher-order thinking and away from rote instruction. It’s helpful for developing the 21st century skills, like critical thinking, that students need."

"I usually partner the students up so they can work on their projects together. That helps them with their communication skills. It meets so many of the criteria in the different objectives and goals that we have, with one program."

"The package not only addresses technology mounted on the wall in the classroom, but also technology that can go home with our students. Technology is just a part of our lives, and that access to technology needs to be part of their learning as well."

"We realized that we were bringing on educators who had never integrated technology into their curriculum. Together, we’re able to blend our content and provide exceptional resources to every student."

"I want technology to be are source within an overall content-based project, I don’t want it to be labeled as a tech project."

"We’ve really worked on the curriculum to place Inquiry projects in the scope and sequence of each subject area, now instead of going to the lab once a week for 45 minutes of computer time, students work in a lab setting when one of their six projects comes up."

"I think that authentic trial and error is so important, I could show and tell, and we could watch a video, but with Inquiry, actually learning as you go is the basis of the product."

"My students really enjoyed helping each other use the computer correctly and navigate the different websites. Some of them were more computer savvy than others and they liked being the teacher."

"I think the students have learned a lot, and they can get around the computer better now. Those are skills they’re going to need in their upcoming years."

"I found the included pre-tests in Inquiry to be a valuable tool. We went through the pre-tests as a whole class, in order to facilitate a discussion on what they were going to do in the projects."

"Since we’ve done the lesson on PowerPoint presentations, my daughter is now fascinated by PowerPoint. The other night our coaches were talking about healthy foods, and she went home and made a PowerPoint on healthy foods to eat just for fun."

"After we complete our first year, we are looking forward to setting realistic but challenging goals to make sure our students are moving in the right direction."

"Students are asked questions about cyberbullying, access to technology at home and how they use technology to complete their homework."

"I also share the results with the technology coach at every school in the district. The coaches can use the information to develop instructional plans with administrators.It was easy to see that our elementary students were proficient across all of the different indicators."
