WOW - how did another year escape me??? To say it went super fast is an understatement! Maybe it's because I had a graduating senior. Maybe it's because we implemented new iPads back to full sized ones with some chaos. Maybe it's just I am getting older and time is slipping away! In EITHER case, the 2018-19 school year is done!! HOLY COW!!!
Typical end of the year closing shop for things here at BHS. Here is what's been happening:
1. ALL iPads are cleaned, stored and turned off - YAHOO! I will see those babies again the first week in August as I get ready to deploy them for next year's students.
2. Apps requests are in, and PO is ready to go for Volume Purchasing funds. Not a ton this year, which happens as teachers don't need as much as they already have what is most needed.
3. Technology is GOOD. TO. GO. We have been putting JTouches in the classrooms but THEY ARE TERRIBLE! SO next year we are going to test a CleverTouch. A few districts have used these and really like them, BUT they DO NOT need Smart Notebook technology - so for now we'll see if this works for the high school, but at the elementary, more to come....................
4. Currently working on business curriculum and almost have that done.
THAT'S. A. WRAP! Seriously - another year gone! YIKES. Have an amazing summer - I have a few presentations this year on Elearning and what we did here in Barnesville.
Make memories - take photos - love your peeps daily!!
Until fall 2019
