A Message from Dr. Melissa Williams
Time to UNPLUG…yes, the one in charge of technology for the district said it, UNPLUG from technology and plug into life. Spring Break is upon us and when we return things will be moving fast; TELPAS, STAAR (and all its iterations), EOC, CBAs and planning for next year. Friday is Digital Learning Day across America, and we hope you use some of the ideas below in your classrooms. Our students will love it. So…THANK YOU for all you do each and every day for students, take some time to UNPLUG from the digital world and enjoy the real world around you during Spring Break. We will plug you back in on Monday the 23rd, we promise.

Digital Learning Day is March 13th
We have more to celebrate this Friday than the start of Spring Break. It's Digital Learning Day. Nationally, educators celebrate more than technology. They celebrate learning and the role technology plays. These sources offer ideas to celebrate in your classroom.
