Scholastic Reading Counts
The Reading Counts system has been loaded with teacher and student information, now I am in the process of asking for some volunteers from the staff to work through some of the implementation steps. I have some volunteers (the 3rd grade team) we are just trying to get coordinated with a time to meet to implement things.
1 to 1 Initiative
Board members and Admin team spent the day in Omaha yesterday at a “Think Ahead” workshop hosted by Apple computers. Board members as well as Jan and Mike spent time working with the technology, while I spent time learning about the capabilities of an Apple system. Some things that are part of the system that would be additional expense in our current setup:
• Podcasting software and podcast production
• Wiki and blog hosting and posting controlled by our environment
• Management system software – “Big Brother”
• Imaging software
and the list goes on from there.
I am currently working on a visit to Newell‐Fonda a week from this Friday. I have not gotten
confirmation back from them that this works, but anticipate we will be able to go up for the day.
