October 2, 2019 In this edition, we examine the evolution of digital technology in the classroom and its impact on our school communities and beyond. Independent schools are re-examining one of our oldest commitments: to model and teach engagement, alertness, presence, focus, agency. Some digital tools help us in this effort; many others work against these traits in insidiously powerful ways. Knuckleball Consulting is a sponsor of two great independent school events this fall. If you're attending, please stop by and say hello! - Elementary School Heads Association Annual Retreat, Nashville, TN, Oct. 19 - 22.
- ISACS Annual Conference, Louisville, KY, Nov. 7 - 8.
