J. H. House - Technology and Learning’s School Site of the Month
Imagine this! I had to read on Will’s blog today about J. H. House being selected as Technology and Learning’s School Site of the month.
I didn’t know it and what’s worse is I think I have that magazine
somewhere around here or at home. It’s on a stack somewhere to read
once I complete numerous “to-do’s”. (I’d rather be blogging!)
Information overload plus work overload has been hot on my trail these
past few weeks.
It’s a nice write-up about The Write Weblog and other blogs at the school. Susan
Brooks-Young points out how the school is doing such a good job sharing
information. That school is so special. I’m biased, of course, since I
used to teach there but it’s true that all the good things they are
doing may just be one of the best kept secrets in Georgia! J. H. House
has a great staff and truly wonderful students. I can’t wait to
share this with the kids and the staff!
I’ve done blogging projects there for the past 3 years. This year it
really is getting in other hands. That’s the exciting part. Next year, Hillary Meeler (she also produces House Highlights)
will be running the blogging projects and I will be moving to another
school. I’ll probably touch base with the principal once a month
but it is a happy/sad occasion. It reminds me how I used to feel when a
school year ended and we sent our terrific fifth graders on to middle
school.
