Twitter fun!!
It's been great to see the engagement on #BHSmatters explode this week. Some of the posts have been silly, some are serious, and some are quite profound. My main goal was just to see engagement increase and build a little school spirit. That seems to have happened.

I read a really good blog post this week about what leaders should be doing with technology. The point of the article was that technology isn't really what's important. There are much bigger goals, but technology allows us to meet those goals in news ways.
Here is the link to the blogpost: http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/5056
A similar visual was created about what we want students to do with technology. I also included that image below. Again, the tech aspect isn't as important as the companion skills that are helping students be future ready.
These ideas relate closely to the vision statement we created for our blended learning initiative. I'll be sending that your way on Google Classroom very soon. I'm working on another small activity for you all to complete.

Does professional dress matter for teachers?
I wrote this as a blogpost last week. I found it interesting how much attention it got. There has been more engagement around it than just about anything I've written.
