LMS

I would agree with much of the article "K-12 Student Data and Learning Management Systems Miss the Mark".  There is always pro's and con's to using technology.  As a special education teacher we are currently using skyward and I feel this has been a great SIS tool.  This is only our second year using this system.  I would like to see more parents getting involved with the use of this program.  Last year we had about 50 students with IEP's and only 4 parents ever checked the grades of their students from home. I would love to be able to start using a LMS system but as the reading states it can be difficult when a large number of your students do not have regular access to the internet.  I feel I may start to use a LMS system once all students have their own computers.  I have many students who have a hard time navigating through Powerpoint and Microsoft Word so until they can get comfortable with the basics of the computer, trying to use a LMS program in 45 minutes could be very difficult.
