What is a blog?
My first blog post was Wednesday October 26th, 2011.
And my
community continues to
grow . . .
The Why? of Blogging
Blogging is not about technology . . .
I.. . it’s about relationships and
learning.
If you can crack the problem of engagement – not just “are you paying attention?”, but “are you fascinated by this?” – if you can crack engagement in deep learning then you’ve cracked 21st century schooling. Mike Berrill
Your children . . . will inspire you.
Communication

This is a great site. thanks for taking our children’s academic growth so seriously. you make a huge difference in their lives. i see it on their faces every day! The ways that my daughter uses technology are ways I never thought were possible. She wants to work at home and I never knew how creative my daughter was until this year. Her blog is amazing. She is now teaching me how to use technology to learn instead us just playing games. You truly bring out the meaning of teaching and teacher! Your work doesn't go unnoticed but it’s always nice to hear it from a parent Thanks Leigh. Keep up the excellent work. Sincerely, Lyndsey Gilchrist

It’s time to change the conversation
Why is this important?
You CAN make a difference
. . . have an open mind
. . . use what the kids use
true change involves everyone
Collaboration is how the world works . . .
. . .open communication
. . . learn together
Kids often defy expectations, if you give them the opportunity.
