Just the Beginning

Well, the first three days of school were amazing! I have already learned a lot about the crew that I will be spending my days with. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other. It always amazes me how quickly children pick up routines. Over the summer I have been thinking about the concept of literacy and how that concept has changed as technology has evolved. It is no longer enough to teach students how to read books and write on paper. This won’t adequately prepare them for their 21st century lives.
Our students need to become transliterate and develop the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, both traditional and digital. This brings me to one of our goals for this year: "Blogging". I cant wait to see and hear what the class thinks...
