Middle School Conference - WOW!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Some many interesting people - so many wonderful conversations.
I have more questions than ever about Middle School education. But I thing is certain - we have an excellent source with excellent teachers who care about their students.
The main theme of the conference was online learning. I was well worth talking to academics about their view and their research regarding individual learning.
SLAS is migrating to Google for our email and our documents this term (more information to come on this) and it seems many school that are regarded as internationally cutting edge are doing the same time.
The advantages of going Google are many and varied.
The following links outline some of the advantages of going to the "cloud".
