Year in Review

Year in Review

This has been an interesting school year so far. As Dickens wrote, "It was the best of times and it was the worst of times." The highlights have been an increased collaboration with a group of people who really care about the students in our school. We have formed a professional learning community with members of both the technical and academic staff at our school. It's the first time in my ten-plus year career in which that type of sharing has occurred between the "techies" and the "smarties." Barriers have broken down in our group and kids are benefiting.

Together, we have created a really wonderful project that has our students creating ePortfolio wikis. The students seem pumped up about the components of the project and they're being challenged to use all of the technology gifts available to them because of where they go to school. They are extremely fortunate in regards to access.
