How do you communicate a student travel experience "on the fly" with the home crowd?
 * Grape Q**


 * Conversation Starters** - Use the following to help get the conversation started:
 * Where do teachers take students on field trips in your district? How far do they go? How long are they away from the district? Is it a day-trip or multiple days?
 * How can teachers and students share photos, videos, and the news of their trip with the rest of the school community at home?
 * What tools (tech and/or non-tech) are going to enable this to happen in an efficient, practical, and logical manner?
 * How often can information from the trip be updated?

Use the conversation starters as a a framework (or develop your own framework) to design a solution for your question. "Edit" this page and record your plan, actions, and results in the space below. Leverage your network to make this often talked about topic into an actionable item.

 * Group Reflections -** Take some time to respond to the following questions after completing your task.
 * What does the student experience in a classroom look like when the curriculum is integrated with technology that they use? Its seamless. They shouldn't have to power down to come to school. There should be a home school connection.
 * What support structures need to be in place for this classroom to exist, for the experiences to exist? Your IT needs to be onboard and in support of the process and participate in the conversation. The infrastructure needs to be able to support the technology. The hardware needs to be present or allowed in the building.
 * What is your ideal school look like where access to learning is not held in check by the classroom walls or the teacher itself? Every student has to have some kind of connection device. The students have to have a stake in the learning. They should be a part of the curriculum writing.
 * Where does learning happen in the schools of the future? Everwhere because it's mobile learning - it's portable.
