Welcome back to school! I consider our first week to be a success! There were definitely a few hurdles to jump (networks down, bare floors, you name it) but everyone pulled through and welcomed all the smiling faces back from summer break. Many of us even got together early to participate in the TEACHnology conference held in August. There were plenty of great sessions to attend. If you missed out on one or two have no fear! Tech help is on the way! Beginning in October there will be Technology Tuesday professional development sessions offered at 3:45 at the high school every week through April. We will cover topics from the TEACHnology conference, new emerging technologies, ways to go digital to save paper, Eno board trainings and more. To check out any of the information from the TEACHnology conference, click below. There are notes, handouts and links for all the sessions that were offered.

Your feedback is always appreciated! If you have ideas for tech trainings or other tech related feedback please let me know. You can start by voting in the poll to the right. It is just for fun this week but the question will change every week.
I also wanted to thank everyone for their patience with all the "hurdles" we are jumping over due to construction pains. The tech support staff is doing their best (and a great job!) to get everything up and running as quickly as possible!
Elda and Morgan Teachers
As many of you already know, there is a student website for each building. Jenna Rahrig created one for Morgan originally and I created one for Elda. The sites are a great way to get the students to the programs they need quickly and painlessly! The Elda site is a work in progress, but ready to go for the basics. Check out the links below:
