Accessibility of the Blog...

I have had many emails asking when will my blog be available on the school computers. As most of you know, if you pull up my blog at one of the schools, you get the grandma and grandpa picture...(which you also know I hate...lol). However, right now this is not something that is in my control. Right now, most blogs are blocked within Onslow County, as are things dealing with podcasting, wiki's, etc.

I am hoping with the push of "21st Century Skills", that this is something that will soon go by the wayside...until then...send me your comments from home!

PS...if anyone wants to start planning some technology rich lessons before school starts, send me an email, and I will put you on my calendar! Have a great July!!!!

Technology Buffet for the White Oak District

I want to hold a bi-weekly class just for the teachers and TAs in the White Oak District of Onslow County Schools. Each week the topic would be different areas of technology (ie. learning new technology tools, how to integrate technology into your curriculum, etc). Teachers and TAs will have the opportunity to get credit for these classes. They will have to take a minimum of 10 hours. Each class will be 1 hour in length.

In order for teachers and TAs to get credit, I will have to plan for these classes over the summer. I will need to turn my topics into CJ Koreneck before school starts. I would like to get feedback from administrators, teachers and TAs in the White Oak District to see what they are interested in learning.

Please add your comments to my blog. This blog is new and I will be updating it throughout the summer and this upcoming school year. My goal is to have an ongoing conversation about technology within the White Oak District.

Hope to hear your comments! Have a great summer!

Thanks, Gretchen
