It certainly is impressive! Is Steph's class the one to be the first class in the NE region to record the weather? I thoroughly enjoy Voicethread when I visit one of the teacher pages - it's a virtual visit to the classroom. The fourth graders are becoming more sophisticated and confident with their technology skills. Teaching them to effectively and critically use Internet resources and databases will broaden their learning. I agree that during your absence teachers collaborated to learn from one another and to continue on as if you were here. I noticed that they embraced technology and all it can do to expand and deepen knowledge out of respect for the progress and learning with you. You may not have physically been here, but the seeds you planted over the years continued to grow and be nutured. Thanks for all you do, Cathy!
