Literacy is the foundation for all learning.
“Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.”
- Grace Slick
This article came across my Facebook page this morning. I immediately thought: Our Action Plan for Literacy seems to be hitting the nail right on the head.
One of my main goals for the rest of this year and next is to integrate more technology into the classroom. However, we need the resources to do that. I like your idea, Megan about a meeting with Abe on how to add more technology with just the resources we currently have. Yet, more would be better.
Megan, I think you hit on a good point about the integrators! Kudos for making way for technology in guidance! The challenge might be getting laptop time.
Megan Smith and I are excited about a buddy plan to bring grade 8 and grade 1 together. This is a way to deal with the shortage laptop time in K-1 which is a major need. It's one thing to have a terrific idea using technology, but, IMHO, our K-6 teachers cannot launch these neat tech ideas they have without time with the laptops. No matter what I've heard for suggestions about the Laptop schedule, it has not been the answer. We need more computers. Our Action Plan has this high on their list of goals for next year. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Keep us posted, Cheryl, on how you and the integrators figure out a way for more technology access.
