LEARNERS CORNER
o As we build a Culture of Greatness, understanding our core curriculum is
essential. Attached is a white paper written by Tom VanderArk, a
nationally renowned speaker on the connectivity of students with
technology within their curriculum. There are some great thoughts and
suggestions for apps of all different kinds within the article. Hearing
him this summer, his overwhelming point is that literacy should be
enhanced through students having computers, not stifled by it. Writing
should be mandatory in every class, every day. Interesting thought















Enjoy the week Prairie Hawks! As always, if you
have any question or concerns stop in and see me.
Take care of yourself, take care of each
other, and take care of Prairie.
