The Willard District "Tiger Tech Conference" was the reason for no school on Monday. Teachers had the opportunity to attend a wide variety of technology workshops to learn the about the newest devices, applications and strategies for the classroom. Much of the technology that your child uses in the classroom each day was something that I've learned from attending previous Tiger Tech Conferences. This year I was asked to host a session and introduce others to student blogging. Our own Kidblog pages were used as examples. Teachers from all over our district had the opportunity to visit our Kidblog site and see our work. I told the kids that they were "Willard celebrities" on Monday. That statement got us to thinking about the bright futures ahead of us. In our Friday letter, students were asked to write about what they would like to be in the future. This also tied in nicely to our social studies discussions about our community businesses. I've created a "wordle" to illustrate our answers. Click on the link below. (Just in case you aren't familiar with wordle...the more times a word is typed, the larger it appears within the picture.) "Our Future" Wordle
