Inspiring Education

Today I was able to watch a 2nd grade class speak with a couple from London, England.  They used Skype for the video conference and met through epals.  The retired couple interacts with many classrooms throughout the world.  Anyhow, the kids were amazed and I was inspired by the way this teacher, Terra Knust, was able to find new ways for her students to learn and interact with technology.  I want to thank Mrs. Knust for her hard work to make learning more fun for her students.

There are many teachers in the Pike County School Corporation who use technology in their classroom as a way of making school fun for the students and more meaningful.  Throughout this year I will be observing classes and blogging about the exciting ways they have used technology in their classes for the betterment of their class.

ENA Conference

Attended an ENA conference today at Jennings County Middle School and it was really inspiring.  The first speaker, Will Richardson, was amazing.  His words and ideas were very reviving and gave me many ideas that I want to bring back to the PCSC teachers.  Even though some ideas would be hard for many of our teachers to accept, I do believe that we have a lot of teachers who would be willing to accept.  Anyhow, a big thank you to ENA for hosting this session.  It was a great benefit.
