Living and Learning in Central Oregon

I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Michael Hall  (www.drmikehall.com ) this morning for breakfast.  He was here working with our Freshman Academy teachers this week and I was able to steal him for a few hours.  It was a wonderful two hours and he gave me some direction to my job.  However, he completely overwhelmed me with information and possibilities.  There is so much to do where do I start?  Where do I find the time and the money?  Thankfully today is Friday so I have the weekend to digest everything and organize my thoughts.  Once I do that maybe I can re-focus my efforts in building 21st Century classrooms and implement some of the suggestions he brought forth.  Thank you Dr. Hall.

This week I had the pleasure of passing out laptops to the high school teachers.  The freshman academy teachers were the first recipients and they were very excited.  I look forward to passing out the reset next week.  My only regret is that we could only take care of the high school this year.  Next year the middle level and elementary teachers are on my list.  We need to make all classrooms 21st Century Learning classrooms and this is a start. Below is the slideshowI used at my presentation.
