A Note from Mrs. Allred
Dear India Hook Parents,
On February 6th, India Hook is inviting parents to participate in Digital Learning Day. Digital Learning Day is in its second year across the nation and we are excited to take part for the first time. Digital Learning Day gives us a day to highlight the use of technology to strengthen students' learning experiences. Digital Learning Day is not about one specific website/app or one device, it is about showcasing the amazing talent of our teachers and students. It is also a day for you, as parents, to ask questions about learning and technology in our schools.
On February 6th we will be offering tech tours, led by students, in the India Hook Media Center. You are invited to explore many of the tools that our students are using to enhance and showcase their learning. Parents will get to "play" with the available technology as well as ask questions. Please plan to drop in during one of the available "Tech Tour" times on February 6th.
