Focus of the Week: CONNECTIONS
How is this connected to anything else?
There are so many talents and strengths within 1 community such as VSAA. How can we connect as a community of practice to share and reflect on successes with students, expression, creativity and achievement? What part does student-ownership and motivation play in the development of GRIT? How can a tool like the iPad be used as an extension of self and thinking? Sometimes a question produces more questions! :)
iPad Deployment is Here!
Wed. 9/9 starting at 10:30 in the media center (see schedule)
