“In your hands the classroom computer has become an expressive tool for discovery and true learning. In the process of finding your own best way to approach technology you’ve also found something else of great importance- that the only limitation to the use of this tool is your own imagination.”

H drive can only be accessed when you are on the district’s network.

Social Networking:use caution with self-disclosure. Discretion is important. The line between our public and personal lives are sometimes blurred what you post online can cost you job security. A good rule of thumb is; if you do not want your peers, your supervisor, or the Superintendent to read about the post then do not post it.
