Engagement+and+Effectiveness

Our students loved the idea of using technology to support and demonstrate their knowledge. Student engagement has increased. Students have begun to creatively use Songsmith, AutoCollage and Kodu for reasons other than global awareness. Global awareness has become a common terminology around our classroom as well as our school. One of our school's goals for next year will be global sustainability. The local newspaper has followed some of our learning experiences and community members have been motivated to get involved. A group of leadership students won an award for their efforts on recognizing the global issues of homelessness. Hannah Taylor also recognized our student’s efforts, she has called our school, sent cards of recognition and has promised to make a visit to our school.
