MAC SIGHTINGS!

The latest shipment of Macbooks have arrived and will be delivered to the Apple Core Schools within the next week for those schools who need additional laptops for fulltime teachers. Please be sure to inventory these with care and bring your new teachers up to your school standard for using the new technology.



Professional development reports continue to be positive with even our most reluctant users! On March 13 we will be sharing the status and progress of Professional Development in each of our Apple Core Schools. Please bring your updated PDP with you to share with others. We will also develop our next steps for exanding our blogs. Please be prepared to navigate the group through your blog.



Lastly, the Schultz Center for Teaching an Learning will be offering some Tuesday Technology training after school for any interested user. I will forward an invitation to you so you can share with your team if they are interested.

Keep up the great work.

BLOGGING BEGINNINGS!

Our Apple Core Team has begun using blogs as a way of sharing professional development and lessons learned. We have posted the first of these blogs to provide access for our Apple Core learning community to begin reading regularly to learn from each other. Keep in mind that these are our first blogs and we are growing as bloggers. Just like reading makes one a better reader, so does blogging make one a better blogger.

Check out these new blogs from our Apple Core Team:
