15 Technologies That Were Supposed To Change Education Forever

15 Technologies That Were Supposed To Change Education Forever

This Week at Hixson - Weekly student show

I have not ever mention on this blog...that I can recall...the after school activities that I facilitate.

One of them, iProduction, works in tangent with our iReporting crew to produce a weekly show about what is going on in their world each week.

We've returned from a Winter Break hiatus to put together a pretty great show, with a brand new intro.

Enjoy their 15th show and if your interested take a look at the previous 14 shows.

January 6th draws near

I'm super excited about January 6th this year. It is the day we return from Winter break, and our PreK-6 PD day. 

This year the committee asked people from all over the district to share something they are passionate about which has shaped up into a rich day of differentiated PD sessions.


Take a look below at the sessions being offered on the day:


Check back here on January 6th for more information about the day, and remember to follow the hashtag #WGSD
