Something that might be useful when you put technology into your schedule. 

A New Year- A New Assignment

     This year I have the opportunity to work with six schools that have volunteered to pilot a digital writing program.  I will still be working with the 3 alternative calendar schools and my fourth responsibility is dedicated to writing/technology.  Can't wait!  Continue to watch this newsletter/website for Literacy ideas but Writing will be included MUCH more.
