A Culture of Learning

We visited Truman Middle School to learn more about their use of technology in the classroom. I have to say I was amazed! These students were vested in their learning. The students were excited to show off what they were learning and how they were doing it!

Each student I talked with could tell me about apps I had never heard of before. There was collaboration and a culture of learning present in EVERY classroom. In the science classroom, students were still expected to have a science journal (like scientists in the real world), but the students could share their results and projects online.

This method of sharing seems exciting for the students because they could see out of school possibilities. Seeing students so excited to share their knowledge and not afraid to do so has made our 1:1 initiative even more exciting and I am ready to dive in. What a great time to be a tiger!
