  • Can tablets transform education?

    Posted by:
    The tech trend of tablets is becoming increasingly more popular. Educators throughout the nation are embracing the tool to enhance student learning. We will be using a flash driven tablet to standardize homework and differentiate instruction in the near future. Look for news to break next week on the district's progression. Imagine as a parent having your child do homework at the practice field or in the car with wireless tablets! AWESOME!

    Coming soon... a research based observation framework that supports the essentials of teaching and learning. Collaboration and communication are imperative throughout this process as the NJ DOE has embraced four models. Long Branch teachers and administrators will work to identify a model that supports the direction we are headed.
     
     
    Do your research... McRel, Marzano, Danielson and TAP. These are the four models that are endorsed by the NJ DOE. If you have a preference talk to someone on the committee, which will be announced this week (September 26)
