New Technology

Our oldest kids returned from a trip to Williamsburg last Friday. They had a great time, learned a lot of history, and enjoyed each others company. They also took along the school's FLIP video camera to document the trip. This week they went to the Apple Store to learn how to make a real iMovie using their footage with all the bells and whistles. They were so excited and proud to show their work and reflect on the trip. We plan to start an iPad project next year to see the effect integrating this amazing tool can have in enriching the environment for the older students. I am daily amazed at the possibilities technology offers teachers and students in the 21st century classroom. The trip movies are on the school Facebook page if you would like to see their talents firsthand.
