Sharing a Little Bit of Tech with Terrific Teachers
Spotlight On Techy Teacher Tomi Kaye!
Celebrating a 1st Grade Graphic Novel!
First grade student, Rose, recently started an independent project in class. Rose wished to create a graphic novel!! Her excitement over her literary work was fostered by her fabulous teacher, Mrs. Simpson! Rose began her work on a paper template then asked Ms. Simpson if she could use her iPad to move the project along even more!! With the help of Mrs. Simpson, Rose is currently working to complete a comic book! She is working with the app Comic Book to complete her literary work!!
Congratulations Rose and Mrs. Simpson on working so diligently on this project!

Food for Thought…
“It is not about the technology; it’s about sharing knowledge and information, communicating efficiently, building learning communities and creating a culture of professionalism in schools. These are the key responsibilities of all educational leaders”. – Marion Ginapolis
