THEY ARE HERE!

The new iPads are here.  Our technology department currently has the iPads and will be working feverishly the next two weeks to get them set up with a new management system called Casper so that our staff can begin using the devices.  All level three missions have been completed in Mission Possible and are ready for staff to begin completing as soon as the device is delivered to them.  Levels four and five have also been aggressively tackled and have several options ready to go.  Be sure to let Chris or LeAnne know if you want to create a mission to share an idea or teaching strategy. The leader board is being continually updated and don't forget to check out the Twitter feed @BHSSTART.  There is also a blog on Blogger called the BHS START Blog.  This week ten of us traveled to the Iowa 1:1 conference to learn more from other districts that have made a similar move.  It is so refreshing to hear that we are on the right track and that other districts have kept the focus on teaching and learning, which we all know is what will be the success of this movement.  Thank you again to our staff who made our professional development on April 9 a success. It was the first of many intense days of learning for us as we head down this path.
