= How should we decide what to offer and when? = WHAT? WHEN?
 * Quarterly surveys +1

 * grade level collaboration / planning times
 * after school

 * by readiness
 * rectangle tables and promethean board for those who want a slower step-by-step pace with lots of time for questions and one-on-one assistance.
 * round tables for those who are comfortable following written steps; have a minimal need for assistance; able to troubleshoot with peers
 * for those who understand/know the app or concept being presented
 * their purpose would be to create a product for their grade level to use with an upcoming objective: something the students would work with or contribute to individually or in small groups that would assess needs, progress, or end-of-task acheivement.
 * if creating a complete product is not reasonable during the time allotted, they could instead use their understanding of the app or concept to plan an authentic assessment or activity
