Two and a half years ago we started a partnership with Digital Promise and Verizon and began a journey together. I can’t believe how far we have come in that time. In the beginning we started with an idea, a concept of how to change education on child at a time. We were on an unknown journey and we were the map makers. We were forging our way into the unknown. Every student and teacher was given a tablet and 5gb of data per month. Equal access for every student regardless of their situation. It was a game changer. For many of our students this gave them the opportunity to be like their peers. We were able to reduce some of the challenges that they face. They now have a device and access to the great big world around them. Our job is to help them navigate those waters successfully.
For our journey to continue on this path we have to show our stakeholders what we have accomplished and where we are heading. This video was created to present to our Superintendent and the School Board to give them an idea of what our schools are transforming into. Regina, my counterpart at Chute MS, and I talked about what video we could show that would give a good sense of all that we have accomplished. After looking at many of our stories I decided to create a new video that shows the culture of our two schools is changing and that learning is taking place all over the building. Our students grow, learn and excel everyday in all subjects and disciplines. We have momentum going in the right direction and we want to make sure that it continues. We owe it to our students!
