ECPS Tech & Media News
December 2016
End of 2016...
It's hard to believe the holidays are here. I want to thank you all for your hard work during Hurricane Matthew. We pulled together as a team to ensure our students had what they need. From moving equipment, sharing equipment, donations, to labeling new books - I thank YOU for your above the call of duty mentality. This month our department wide initiative "amplifyecps" has began! Please us the hashtag #amplifyecps to elevate your amplifyecps leaders in their classrooms! We've got a story to tell and it starts with your leadership. I trust this will be a leadership point for each of you and will make a huge impact on our district. I am also pleased announce that we will have a district MTAC (Media and Technology Advisory Committee) that will help guide our future with discussing our strengths/weaknesses as well as develop a new technology plan for our district.
Merry Christmas to You and Yours,
Matthew
