Final blog post

I've really enjoyed working with each of you this week. Our conversations, sharing and discoveries have helped wrap up one year while bringing a great focus to the upcoming fall. I hope everyone has the opportunity to continue the sharing and learning both with their students and with colleagues. And I hope everyone who has learned about problem solving this week first-hand can reflect on that learning, perhaps analyze the processes at work in finding solutions, and find ways to help their students become the kind of critical thinkers who can solve the problems they will invariably encounter. Remember that it's not about technology; it's all about learning to learn. Thanks for learning with all of us this week.

On the road....

To Filter or Not to Filter - Is that the question?

Some of us have found that there are useful teaching resources located on websites that are blocked within the school district. Do you think we filter too much, not enough or just about right? What would you like to see changed regarding web filtering at school? Make your argument! You may remain anonymous with your comment.

Staying positive!

Everyone at SITI has been incredibly involved for 4 hours each day. There has been some good learning and lots of hard work (despite the usual glitches) aimed at getting next year ready to go. Take a moment to tell everyone what's been going well for you this week. Maybe it's the exact project you had in mind, or it's something new you hadn't even thought about before. Whatever it is, click on comments below, briefly share what's good this week, then sign your name. We'll all be encouraged by one another's efforts!
