Highlights 2/8/13


During Digital Learning Day students were tweeting answer to a few questions I posted on Twitter.  There were over 320 tweets sent using the hashtag #DLWHS.  Not ONE tweet had a curse word, attacked someones character or created an HIB case.   Sure, there were one or two tweets that were sent as a joke or made no sense, but overall the "Tweet-a-thon" was a huge success.   Here is a link that contains all the Tweets sent using the #DLWHS.  Storify of #DLWHS  
The day was not only about Twitter.  As I walked from class room to class room on Wednesday, I saw teachers taking risks, trying new digital tools and having great interactions with their students.   I also saw teachers talking about what they were doing in their classes and sharing ideas.  I felt a great BUZZ in the school from both the students and teachers.  

 Marking Period 2, reports cards were released yesterday through the Genesis Parent Access.   As a staff we did a great job with getting all grades in on time and not one missing grade/comment.
