Teaching the iGeneration - http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/feb11/vol68/num05/Teaching-the-iGeneration.aspx
Thank you to Brian Jones for sharing this article with the high school staff. If you haven't read it yet check out the link to the article. This article starts with scenarios of how technology is so intuitive to our students, yet we ask them to learn in an environment we grew up in "paper/pencil." This article illustrates and begs us to consider the idea of "engagement" with technology today so students are learning in ways that are familiar to them. If I can be of help as a "knowledge broker" or in any other way, please contact me. I love learning about new ways of learning involving technology. Consider reading this article.

I really think that we are lacking the push to keep up with the changing times in Technology. We need to catch up to some of the smaller schools in the area or we are going to continue to lose student enrollment.
I agree with needing to keep upwith technology, but funding is another problem! Thanks, Diane, for the link to the poetry resources!
