Back in the Saddle Again

It has been a very long time since I last blogged.  But I'm "Back in the Saddle Again".    My apologies to the two readers I have...
I want to share a few of the things that have been very exciting in the Bowling Green City Schools this year.

• If you are not on the integration of technology bandwagon, you are way behind.  Many of the teachers at BGHS, BGJrHS and the Elementary Schools have worked hard and have begun to integrate new ideas which allow technology integration.

• Google Apps For Education:  If you have not set up an account... Do it today.  Check your email from Jay Morgan and get ready for a great experience.

• Edmodo has swept the district.  Many teachers have implemented this collaborative tool into their teaching work flow and the majority of students and parents have been very receptive.

• Chromebooks are trickling into the district and the reviews thus far are "really good".

• Thin Client and VM Ware View has breathed new life in old workstations and netbooks.  If you haven't tried a netbook lately... TRY IT!

• Teachmeet KY 2013 is happening on Oct. 3, 2013.  All the cool people will attend!!!  There are more from other districts signed up, which greatly disappoints me that more of BGISD peeps are not on the list.  Sign up at:  www.tmky.wikispaces.com
