HO! HO! HO! Macbooks are Coming!

Apple Core Schools will be receiving their teacher Macbooks the weeks of December 3 and December 10! A firm schedule will be emailed to each School Technology Lead. School Technology Leads should receive hardware and have an internal process for assigning laptops to teachers.

It is critical that each School Technology Lead have a professional development plan of action. These PDPs should be sent to Terri and Dana by December 14. We will review them and help you make adjustments if necessary for a successful implementation. We will then post all PDPs on our blog so that we can learn from each other's experience.

We invite all APPLE CORE team members to begin blogging their experiences with us so that we can develop our virtual learning community. For those of you interested in learning to build your own blogs, email stahlmant@dreamsbeginhere.org to sign up for a two hour class with an exerienced blogger in January.
