- I would like to start having computers available starting with kindergarten. My daughter who is barely 2 years old loves to sit on my lap when I’m on the computer. The earlier we introduce technology, the better.- I would also like to have the students bring in their parents for a technology session taught by the students themselves (teach what they learn as part of student assessment). This will help foster collaboration between students, parents, and teachers. - I see a collaborative setting for the students full of resources readily available to them.- Always need more funding
