A Busy March

Just got back over the weekend from Virginia Beach! I attended the Virginia State Reading Conference where I presented several sessions in the area of Technology and Reading. We experienced some technical difficulties but had plans B and C to help us survive. I saw some nice weather and some rain. I reconnected with old friends and made new ones and we experienced some trauma at our hotel. All in all it was a great conference.

Coming up at school, I will be conducting some after-school training. On the 22nd, come to VP for Creating/Updating your Webpage. On the 25th, I will be at SJ where we will be creating Blogs. Keep in mind that your webpage is static and can only be added to by you. Should you choose to create a blog, you will have interaction with parents, students, and your colleagues. Sign up on the portal if you wish to attend OR just show up :-)

That's all for now. I have to work on a video project and then will finish the day with the Washington Lee Tech Team!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

2010

I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like school just started and here it is January of 2010!! Our teachers have been busy this school year with our new student information system. I think we are beginning to feel more comfortable with the program.

We are now looking ahead to SOL testing and getting lots of instructional review done for the students. I have websites, TurningPoint and Notebook activities and more available.

Tech Teams are active in all 4 elementary schools this year! I am excited about what the students are learning and how responsible they are becoming. Fourth Graders involved in Tech Team will have the opportunity to come to Summer Technology Camp. More information about that will be coming soon.

Take care and have fun in the snow this weekend!!
