Thank you to the folks who commented or wrote in about ideas for technology equipment… you all have definitely added to my wish-list. And since I have meetings with development folks coming up in the coming weeks, that’s a very good thing. I don’t know how successful we can be with raising the money for the one-to-one environment — that was the one thing that I was never able to even come close to at Beacon — but I feel good that I can walk in there with a wish-list and start doing some sensible planning for raising the money.
Which, of course, brings me to the next question to start to ponder: What do you do with all the stuff? Now, much of the work of developing these programs obviously depends on having teachers who buy into and want to work with technology literacy. But hey, I like to plan… so here’s a starting list of projects / curricular ideas that I think could enhance learning at SLA.
O.k. — those are just a few ideas… there are dozens more… Feel free to add your own.
I love hearing that my former basketball players have made it onto their college basketball teams… so far, of last year’s seniors, two are playing hoops, one is playing rugby and one is playing softball.
What I love about that is what last year’s group had was a love of playing together on a team, and they have taken that love and gone on to college with it. College sports can be such a blast… some of my favorite moments were on the U. Penn Ultimate team, and I love watching my players go on and play at the college level.
