a new school in huntersville Grand Oak Elementary, located on Stumptown Road in Huntersville, opened Aug. 26. The 39-classroom school was built with money from the 2007 bond referendum to relieve overcrowding at Torrence Creek. It is Charlotte Mecklenburg School district’s first new school since the opening of Hough and Rocky River high schools in 2010.

GOOD DIGITAL DEEDS Fran Millen, a seventh-grader at Bailey Middle, noticed many of her school assignments required computers and several of her classmates did not have computers at home. So she founded the group Eliminate the Digital Divide (E2D), partnering with the Town of Davidson, local businesses, foundations, the Ada Jenkins Center and Davidson College to help provide computers, bandwidth and technical training to local families. E2D has now collected approximately 750 donated computers and more than $40,000. Way to go, Fran!

Tech’d Out

for School Lake Norman schools explore technology in the classroom

BY KATY LEGRAND

hen President Obama visited North Carolina in June to talk about technology in America’s classroom, it was no surprise he selected Mooresville Middle School for his speech. The Mooresville Graded School District has gained national attention for its cuttingedge use of technology in education. In fact, most educators understand the benefits and embrace technology in the classroom, but programs are rolling out slowly and not all Lake Norman districts will allow personal devices at school for the 2013-14 academic year.

Last year, select schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district began participating in the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative and Cornelius Elementary was one local school selected. Though educators see the benefits, there are still some concerns when it comes to Wi-Fi security, personal devices and technology access for all.

W

Pros and Cons Iredell-Statesville Schools are choosing not to allow personal technology devices in the classroom this year. “The IredellStatesville Board of Education has supported technology being available in the schools with the introduction of student

laptop carts at all schools,” says David Blattner, executive director of technology and media services at Iredell-Statesville Schools, “as well as wireless internet capabilities at all school sites providing access to technology resources to all students.”

Under the curent policy, students cannot bring iPads, tablets or laptops to school because security measures are not in place to protect the network from misuse, malware and viruses. “When students are using a device issued by the school,” explains Blattner, “they are on the school’s secured network where inappropriate websites and applications can be blocked.”

Evidence shows that when students bring personal technology devices to school, it can be beneficial. CMS has had great success with their BYOT initiative and chose Cornelius Elementary School as one of 21 schools to test the pilot program. Cornelius Elementary School principal James Garbin is a proud supporter of the initiative and parents support it, too. The school’s Parent Teacher Organization raised funds to purchase 60 iPads for student and teacher use at the school.

In line with BYOT, students at Cornelius Elementary are allowed to bring their own devices as well, to enhance learning and research. The district will have wireless access for technology instruction and programs at all CMS schools in the 2013-14 academic year.

What’s In or Out? Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools

Students may possess a personal technology device, which includes cell phones, laptops, e-readers and tablets as long as they are off and put away during school hours and on the school bus. With approval of the superintendent, the devices may be used for education purposes.

Iredell-Statesville Schools

Elementary school students are NOT allowed to possess any type of personal wireless communication device. Middle and high school students may possess a wireless communication device that may be used during the school day as allowed by school administration.

Mooresville Graded Schools

Students are not allowed to display or use cell phones or any other electronic devices during school but may use devices that are provided through the school district.

Access for Everyone What about the students who don’t have access to all this great technology when they leave the classroom? Garbin does not think the students without access have a disadvantage.

“When an assignment calls for the use of technology, [the teachers] make sure there is time available during school for them to get their research done,” explains Garbin.

At the CMS schools where the BYOT program is in place, teachers make the rules and access is not always guaranteed.

The FAQ on the CMS website clearly states, “The teacher has the final say on classroom procedures. If your teacher asks you not to use your device, you should follow their instructions.”

Reducing Risks The fact is, teachers can’t keep an eye on each student’s screen when personal technology is in use. In a perfect world, all students would follow the rules, be focused on the assignment and only go to appropriate websites. However, that is not always the case and disciplinary policies need to be in place if and when students go astray.

Blattner puts it this way, “I believe that if we were to introduce personal devices into the network, the majority of students that could afford to bring their own devices would utilize them for educational purposes. I also realize that we

are working with kids, who are going to try and do things that they shouldn’t. Unfortunately, I need to plan for [students] that would cause mischief and without proper network security, the risks are too high.”

On the positive side, the Mooresville Graded School District, which outfitted each school with enough laptops for every student, is a great success story. An article in the New York Times states the district’s graduation rate has risen from 80 percent in 2008 to 91 percent in 2011. They have also seen an increase in attendance and are now placed third in North Carolina in test scores and second in graduation rates.

Benefits of allowing for personal technology in the classroom include easier access to resources for research, an appeal to a broader range of learning styles, and with technology so prevalent in the workforce today, it would better prepare students for their futures.

Though no one can ignore the benefits, until the kinks are worked out, children’s personal technology devices will be staying safe at home for Iredell-Statesville School students.

Kim Holder, a second grade teacher at Lake Norman Elementary agrees the policy must be approached with caution. “iPads would be great for the future because most small children can navigate so well. They have no fear. We just have to be careful about inappropriate websites and links.”

A shady place to rest at Jetton Park.

Madeline, 9 and Molly, 6 digging at The Sand Box.

t’s inevitable. Around the fourth or fifth trip to your usual playground, the kids start to complain they’re bored of the same old swings and teeter-totters.

How to avoid a massive meltdown and still give your wee ones the opportunity to burn off all that excess energy? Check out these three Lake Norman-area parks to vary your recreational routine.

JETTON PARK 19000 Jetton Road, Cornelius

LKNparents.com // fall 2013

The grandaddy of all parks in the Lake Norman area, Jetton is perfect for a quick trip or the better part of a day. The playground itself is large, with equipment for all different ages.

A mini-zipline and swings that lock you in like an amusementpark ride are draws for the younger set. For parents who need a break (read: all of us) there are many places to sit including benches and a gazebo. But the best thing about this playground is it has plenty of shade, so even on really hot days your kiddos (and you) can play without breaking a sweat. It’s a popular spot though, and often packed, so if you’re looking to avoid the crowds try it early in the morning.

The equipment is in very good condition and there’s plenty of mulch to break any falls. When the kids need a change of scenery, Jetton offers something truly unique — a beach.

Although you can’t swim, you can get your feet wet, plus this is the perfect spot to bring sand toys and build. In addition, there are miles of beautiful shaded walking trails the details that offer spectacular views of Lake Norman, Parking: Yes as well as being Restrooms/ Water Fountain: Yes perfect for beginning Shade: Yes bike-riders.

Stroller Friendly: Yes Fence: No

Caldwell Green Tot Lot 320 Caldwell Lane, Davidson Referred to simply as “The Sand Box,” this little park is unique in that one large corner has been converted into a giant sand play-area. No need to bring buckets or shovels because over the years, patrons have left toys (including bikes and big wheels) at this neighborhood spot, which in many ways feels like someone’s incredibly cool, oversized back yard. The lot is not a park, but a lot that is completely fenced in and situated in the quiet McConnell neighborhood. It blends in with the homes around it so well, you may not even notice it.

If your kids are under 6, the Sand Box is great because the details no matter where you sit, Parking: Yes you can see them, plus there Restrooms: No are picnic tables for a snack Water Fountain: Yes break. There’s a trike tunnel Stroller Friendly: Yes and asphalt path that winds Shaded: Park-no, around the space where sandbox-yes kids can do laps on bikes Fence: Yes or scooters; the rest of the area is grass. No equipment or swings here, the draw is simply the enormous sand box for good old-fashioned play.

CAUGHT IN THE Middle

Squeezed between caring for kids and aging parents

By Sara Randall

A

new generation has emerged in the stage of life.

Known as the Sandwich Generation, it is the group of people who are raising kids and also serving as caregivers for their aging parents. Many adults are choosing to have children later in life, which coincides with the aging of their parents, and family responsibilities pose a new set of challenges.

The responsibility of caring for an aging parent can be life-altering. Pressed for time and energy, the family caretaker juggles many responsibilities while trying to give their love and attention to every family member. Try these

steps from Charlotte-based family psychologist Dr. Melissa Tate to help avoid burnout, make time for everyone — including yourself, and protect your emotional well-being.

Build a Strong Family Foundation

“A stable and solid family foundation must be in place prior to taking in a loved one,� says Tate. An addition to the household increases responsibilities and can multiply stress.

Being physically able and financially secure are important components. A strong family foundation is essential to increase the chances of a more positive new situation.

Enlist Support

It’s important to acknowledge you can’t do it all, so set realistic limits on how much you can handle. “Be open to ask and accept help in any form,” says Tate, “by contacting siblings and extended family members about ways they can help out.” Support from family members helps to ease your guilt of being stretched between children, parent and spouse. Whether it’s taking care of grandma while you run errands, a relative picking up your kids from school or a sibling buying groceries, these are wonderful ways that family can lend a hand. Age permitting, your kids can help out with household chores.

Utilize Community Resources

Reach out to local agencies for outside assistance. An elderly parent might be eligible to take advantage of Medicaid programs such as local transportation or an adult daycare program. Attending a day program gives an older parent a great outlet to get out of the house, socialize with peers and give you a break from caregiving.

Take Care of Yourself

Being a caregiver for many can be overwhelming and make stress levels skyrocket. Resentment can build, leaving you

frustrated and angry. Set aside some personal time to decompress and recharge. Go to a local coffeehouse, hit the gym or attend a yoga class. “Find the right outlet that lets you replenish your tank before you run out of steam,” Tate advises. If you’re not well-balanced, you won’t be good for yourself or anyone else in your life.

A Family Meeting

“Set a timeframe with loved ones to evaluate the situation, whether it’s three months or six months from the time the parent has moved in,” says Tate. Gather everyone around to discuss what has been working and what hasn’t. Ask for more help if needed. If things are just not working out, discuss the parent moving to another family member’s household for a temporary stay to see how it works.

Alternating between households might be a good solution to best suit everyone in the family.
