So far today I've been to two sessions. The first was on integrating technology into the after school program and what some classrooms and schools are doing. This is classic stuff like using software to help with digital images and printing, newspapers, annuals (yes, even at Elementary) and which software packages are being used. There's scanning, web design, quests, and initial web portals. The presentation was excellent and I was excited to know that many of the resources these schools have, we have at Outlook as well. The potential for what we will be able to do with technology and student achievement will be excellent.
The next session was one of the best I've been to yet. It was on how to establish advisory councils which is what we'll need to do for parents in the next couple of months as we talk about goal setting and what the community might want to see in terms of their children's education.
Again, it is a privilege to be here and meet such wonderful people and to listen to their stories of accomplishment and struggle. I am humbly reminded that we are all in the same ocean, just in different ships.
It's lunchtime now, (weird eating lunch at 9 am). Time to eat.
