Here We Go!!!
Hello all.
After the 4th of July means only one thing…..school will be starting before we know it. I am spending much time getting ready to launch www.grotonarea.com. I am very excited about this new venture. In the past, when building web sites for school we have realized that the audience we speak to to so important. GrotonTigers.com has addressed the needs of our elementary school for some time now but GrotonArea.com will be an umbrella for everyone. Parents and students can access information in a whole new way. You will be able to access current school calendars, lunch menus, pricing and even school cancellations. There will be a UShare button for user submitted photos. I’m excited. I hope you will enjoy the site as it is developed.
Our Path to the Future
Hello. I am an educator who has served children and families for 32 years. I have several passions. One of them is technology. I appreciate the way technology can empower students and teachers. Another passion of mine is Language Arts. There is no feeling that compares to a child making a successful connection in reading. The “a ha” moment that a child experiences should be bottled and sold! My goal for the future is to be part of the “oh cool” moment in technology. It is my feeling that a student should experience the “oh cool” factor in every classroom. Technology will help us achieve that goal. Teaching is great, neat, super and exhausting if you do your job right!
Hello Groton Area School
I am looking forward to my new position as Technology Integrationist at Groton Area School. As I speak with each of you, I can also detect your excitement with new PC-Tablets and SMARTBoards. It will take dedication and creative thinking on our part to use them to capacity. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to work on this project, here is a sample video of a Promethean board (different company) in action. SMARTBoard classrooms: Where SMART minds meet!
No matter what language.
