Thinking With the End In Mind

Many times we stop and reflect upon our practice towards the end of a journey. The school year is almost over. Take a deep breath and stop for a second to think about what we do and why. This slide show of the 21st Century classroom reminds us of the what and why of what we do for our students each day!

Virginia Living Museum - From A Child's Eye!

Technology can be used by everyone! Students in Mrs. Brinker's first grade class took a field trip to the Virginia Living Museum and wanted to remember their experience. Mrs. Brinker gave her Flip camcorder to students and allowed them record their time at the museum. What they have share with us is a child's eye view of the wondrous world around them. Take a look!
