On Thursday, November 16th, 2:30-3:30 PM, Robert Simpson will present a fast-paced session on how technology integration can help motivate today's students.

Great presentation, Robert ...a model for an integrated technology project that uses local resources and pays attention to standards and student engagement...

Gave me a lot to think about and live up to in my own efforts...
 
Thanks Ed for your comment. Taking a strategic approach we've been able to leverage resources to support the ongoing implementation of the SIW model. Are you working on any projects similar to the SIW? -Robert
