• @crafty184 It makes sense for us ecause the hardware can be serviced under existing operations. Still investigating other hardware poss. in reply to crafty184 #
• @crafty184 The devices, for now, will access our guest network. No connections as of right now to printers or network file storage. in reply to crafty184 #

• @bengrey @russgoerend @crafty184 Is that working well? Seems like a step that would add complexity. in reply to bengrey #

• @KevinByers I know you can generate courses from IC, but not sure about grades back to IC. in reply to KevinByers #
• @KevinByers In theory, with a good database person in the background, it's possible. Not sure what inputs IC will take. in reply to KevinByers #
• @audreywatters @fnoschese Yeah. Started there. Lots of not actual research statements – led to the district research summary. in reply to audreywatters #
• @audreywatters @fnoschese Wondering about "random assignments" with an n of 16. But worth a further look. in reply to audreywatters #

• @KevinByers Have you talked to IC? in reply to KevinByers #
• @mmuir @audreywatters @fnoschese Mike – Can you point me towards a deeper dissemination of the data? in reply to mmuir #
• @mmuir @audreywatters @fnoschese Have y'all looked at differences of instruction and other effects that would impact student achievement? in reply to mmuir #
• @KevinByers Why wouldn't you talk to them or to CIC? in reply to KevinByers #

• @grantfaulkner Suppose someone wanted to write a script. Where might one learn how to do that? in reply to grantfaulkner #
