On this week's episode of the Perfect Chaos Podcast, Ronda (@drrblevins) and David (@dsblev) talk about the many different ways that schools have been established around the country, and while both have their opinions on which is best, they concede that each has their positives and negatives.  Whether you are looking at a P-12 school, middle school (6-8) with a high school (9-12) or go P-3 elementary 4-6 middle, then add a junior high and high school...the options are boundless.  What impact do they have on students, teachers and administrators?  Does funding and community size play an impactful role in the decision?  What are your thoughts.  Make sure to reach out and let us know.  If you are on Anchor, use the message button to send us a message.  If not visit us on Twitter or Instagram @perfectchaos7.

Education technology has been working its way into the classroom for many years.  From Oregon Trail to the days of one-to-one issuance of technological devices.  During COVID, equity within the discussion of digital technologies have become a significant issue.  From the ability to access content from homes, to what schools/grades have what devices, digital equity has to be considered when implementing a distance learning curricular component.
