What a Great Year....Do You Believe?

Hi! For those of you that have not met me yet, I am Gretchen Marshburn, your new Instructional Technology Facilitator (except for Morton Elem. where I have been for the past three years, and am lucky to serve again this year)!

Periodically (usually about once a month) I post to my Technology Blog, about topics important to education and technology. Whatever strikes my fancy at that moment is what I blog on. So for my first blog of the 2008-2009 school year, and first blog for my new schools, here goes...

What a great year it is going to be, I feel it in my bones. There is so much excitement in the teachers that I have talked to at my schools. The technology is really becoming a reality in our schools. We are in our second year of our "Tier One" Initiative, and those teachers just received their laptops! Promethean Boards, SmartBoards, and Mimios are popping up everywhere I turn! Yeah! Anyway, as I was saying "I BELIEVE" that it is going to be a great year for our students and for us! And to really hammer that subject in, I want you to view a video that I first saw on The North Carolina Discover Educator's Network Blog, hosted by our lovely Nicole Gray, OCS Media and Instructional Technology Coordinator. Please enjoy the school year and remember to believe in yourself, and your students because we can all achieve!
