"Forget About It"

Landing at the Philadelphia, Penn. airport wasn't such a big deal, but when I crossed the Delaware River I realized that I was really in New Jersey.  Riding down the highway toward Atlantic City was not at all what I had imagined.   I had visions of black Cadillac sedans and graves lining the forests and some big brute saying "forget about it"; that's what I saw in the movies.  Actually, it looked a lot like KY, except there were tall pine trees and a lot of sandy soil.  I arrived at beautiful Stockton College and had an amazing time with some great educators from all around New Jersey and Pennsylvania. William King and  I presented several sessions and we were overwhelmed by the favorable reception we received.  So...why am I telling you all this stuff?  Bowling Green City Schools has some of the most innovative and talented group of teachers whose experience and talent are second to no one.  As I travel around the country to various conferences, it is clear we are doing some exceptional work in our district.  We are leaders in tools such as:  schoolpointe, turning point, edmodo, dropbox, animoto, intelligent classrooms, ipads, flipped classroom concepts and more.  We have a number of teachers who are truly "Rock Stars" when it comes to technology.   We also have a number of teachers who still need to consider using technology more effectively as a means to engage students.  Please contact me or your school integration specialist to assist in any of your projects.
