And so it begins....

Here we go!  Today was the start of schools for teachers. We have today, Thursday, and Friday to get everything done before the students arrive on Monday, August 25.  Our teachers received their iPads from Digital Promise this morning.  It was a very hectic few hours for Yoomi and me.  Yoomi is our school's (and a few other schools in our district) tech support.  She spent the day at King Arts helping the teachers with their iPads and setting them up in our districts enrollment plan. Sorry to the other schools that she may have neglected!  Overall, I think it went quite smoothly for our teachers.  I felt like I was running around like a chicken without its head for most of today.

Krista Moroder, Marco Torres and Jim Beeler from Digital Promise are at King Arts to provide PD for our amazing journey with them. The teachers were very engaged considering all that they have to still do to be ready for the first day with the students.  Storyteller Marco Torres weaving an engaging tale for our teachers this afternoon.

I was very impressed with the King Arts teachers (I always am) with how they are invested in creating a great learning experience for our unique diverse population of students. The really instill our new District 65 slogan: "Every child, everyday, whatever it takes".

And so the adventure begins.....
