How Schools Balance Technology And Set Guidelines In A Digital World

Let’s face it, classrooms today don’t resemble the classrooms of our childhoods. Gone is the chalkboard as the main communication tool. Now students have technology at their fingertips instead of one or two computers in the back of the classroom. While tablets, laptops and the like can certainly benefit and support education, they can also serve as a distraction and deterrent. So how do educators navigate this ever-evolving tech world?

Integrating technology and education in a safe and responsible way is a priority for schools. Many schools have adopted a 1:1 technology program — especially in the upper grades — where each student has their own device.

Balancing Technology and Curriculum Needs

“Charlotte Latin School is in the seventh year of its 1:1 iPad program, which now serves students in grades three through 12,” says Alan Becker, educational technology department head at Charlotte Latin School. “In order to blend classroom technology into a traditional learning environment, Charlotte Latin relies on its experienced faculty, key technology personnel, and a robust digital citizenship program. e faculty are supported by Latin’s educational technologists, specialists who help to integrate iPads and other technology into classrooms in ways that enhance student learning without making technology the driver of the curriculum.”

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
