BCMS Friday Rewind
Week of November 28th, 2016
Building Students’ Savvy at Navigating the Internet
How good are today’s young “digital natives” at finding the answer to a factual question online? ask Sam Wineburg and Sarah McGrew (Stanford University) in this Education Week article. “True, many of our kids can flit between Facebook and Twitter while uploading a selfie to Instagram and texting a friend,” they say. “But when it comes to using the Internet to get to the bottom of things, Junior’s no better than the rest of us. Often he’s worse.” Education Week Article
We do have one Study Island Virtual Training session remaining. Please see details below and let Jeff know if you have an interested group.
Meet a Vet Prime Time Activity a Huge Success!
Thank you so much for your work with our Meet a Vet Prime Time activity. It was fun to read vet responses to questions as well as sit in on some of the in-person presentations. Our kids asked awesome questions and were very respectful! We are already planning ways to improve for next year and get a service man or woman in front of every Prime Time!
