15 Technologies That Were Supposed To Change Education Forever

15 Technologies That Were Supposed To Change Education Forever

Gizmodo Australia - Every generation has its shiny new technology that’s supposed to change education forever. In the 1920s it was radio books. In the 1930s it was television lectures. Here in the second decade of the 21st century, it seems the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) is the education tech of tomorrow. Let’s hope it pans out better than previous attempts.

Fun App Friday - Dots

Connect the Dots, the hard part is stopping.

Enjoy!

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
