Another New School Year....

It is difficult to believe I'll be starting another new school year (my 15th in Collier County and my 20th in Florida...I've been away from the Cowboy State way too long!). This year is a bit unique in that our post-secondary vocational institution is growing with the addition of a technical high school (9th grade only this year and then adding a new 9th grade each year). I'm privileged to be a part of this new learning environment by taking the role of Media Specialist for both the new high school and the tech center. Since the high schoolers will all get laptops (teachers, as well) and the school is going wireless, there are many opportunities for "out of the box" learning and knowledge-building experiences. Although there is yet to be a replacement for my other job (they promise soon!), I'm forging ahead in my new role as time permits and I've developed a blog for the school which I invite you to visit and subscribe to if you are interested.

More later....
