Logical Choice
A huge thank you to Cynthia Kaye and her team at Logical Choice Technologies, Lawrenceville, GA, for providing a 3Cam for one of our students teaching outside the United States. This technology will allow him more flexibility as he teaches mathematics. Thank you, as well, to Becky Milford, our representative, for providing an abundance of opportunities for professional learning.

School Starts - August 2010
Thoughts -
With the start of a new school year, thoughts often go back to school years of old. Remember when we had to walk two miles uphill in the snow to school both ways??? Ha! Ha! As different as school may seem for some of us, it is normal for the students that are currently attending. Students are used to all the Promethean Boards, IPads, and Skype. As educators, we are the ones that sometimes lag behind in our technological training. I hope that you will take time this year to make learning and teaching more technology one of your priorities if you haven't already.
If you haven't had a chance to thank one of your former teachers that made a difference in your life, please take a few minutes and write a note or make a telephone call to them. I am sure they would love to hear from you and we all need to know that we make a difference.
Sad Note -
Many of you know Jeremy who worked with us in Post Bac for a couple of years. He is currently teaching in Kubal, Afghanistan. Recently there was an attack on some Americans in the country. Three of those Americans were friends with Jeremy and two of our other students, Zack and Trey. Please keep them all in your thoughts.
Other News -
Congratulations to the current group of Post Bacs who are currently in student teaching. I hope that you all learn a lot and pass on your vast knowledge to all those around.
Pinecrest Academy -
We have recently started a partnership with Pinecrest Academy to work with their staff on Professional Learning. The first session was exciting and invigorating. We are looking forward to learning and growing with this amazing group of educators.
