Friday, October 9, 2015 was a teacher workday and fall break is gone! Congratulations on a great beginning and on the many gains made in the world of instructional technology. We have come a long way and there is so much more in store. Thank you for your attendance at the events for technology shared last Friday afternoon. If you were unable to attend a session we will have other sessions later in the year. Many thanks to the teachers who volunteered to share with others.
We know that you have a lot that is expected of you in so many respects. One is certainly technology integration. Natalie and I are ready to offer support for whatever you need to help your students be successful. Please continue to try new apps, Google and otherwise.

FYI- Several people have asked me about Smart Boards and Promethean Boards. I am in awe of these gadgets and how savvy many of you are in using them. When asked questions about the boards, I often have to look up the answer or I go to some of you who have graciously shared your expertise with me. It is shocking to many that a classroom teacher of high school English for 25 years doesn't know all about these boards. I never had the opportunity to teach with one.
I was recently with a teacher at our high school when I noticed an "antique" Smart Board standing all alone, with no cables or any connections (because it is out of date and doesn't' work anymore). It is being utilized as a standard white board. Yes, it is the ONLY active board on that campus. If you have a board, use it. Be proud of it! Get some help if you are clueless. Not everyone has access to one. A picture of the high school's ONLY board is to the left!
