School's Out--School's In

Today is just the second day of "summer vacation" for our PESD students. For teachers it is a different story. There are several professional development activities going on in the district--some of them have already begun. Our office is providing a "Technology Boot Camp" for teachers. It's always interesting to work with adult learners.

To provide our teachers with information about the Camp, a Boot Camp blog has been created at this url: http://techcamp08.blogspot.com.

Professional Development Follow-up

Wow, thanks to the 3rd and 5th grade teachers for their great questions yesterday at our professional development session--and thanks also to Helen Rentz for sharing her classroom activities with the group.



Here are the URLs for the technology integration resources that we talked about during our session:

I look forward to other opportunities to work with you all. If you are looking for other on-line resources, check out the list in the "Helpful Links" area on the right side of the screen.
