7/6- Ed Tech in the News
Middle Schools Focus on MCAS Tests and Technology
Two Massachusetts middle schools in Walpole "will focus considerable attention on boosting MCAS scores, increasing the use of technology in the classroom and promoting Internet safety for students."
Bird Middle School "hopes adopting a new math book in grade 6 and analyzing how math students are grouped will help improve MCAS scores. The school also plans to offer additional math and English blocks to provide more review time to students who struggle in these areas. "
Johnson Middle School continues "its admittedly "slow" progress in upgrading technology." It will "pilot the Web hosting service Edline next year and fully implement it by 2006-2007. With additional PAC money, the school will increase funding for its technology program. Johnson will also consider applying for grants to lower the computer-to-student ratio. The school's long-term goal is to have at least four computers in every classroom."
"Under curriculum, Bird's goals next year include increasing the use of technology in student instruction and reviewing the technology curriculum in general. "

After a good read on blogs like this I like to leave little tips on goal setting. You know, the things you used to dream of when you were young, or even now.
A lot of research has shown that only those who set goals are likely to achieve their dreams.
When is the last time you really sat down and wrote a few short term and long term goals down?
What? It's been that long!
A new year is coming. You could do the same things you did this year and achieve the same results you did with your life dreams last year, or you could visit long term goals and read all the FREE information on setting goals and getting what you want out of life
OR
you could just piddle on through life hoping for the best, like most people do.
Which will it be?
You really can have a lot more of everything than you do now. All you gotta do is know what you want and have a plan.
Have a GREAT New Year!
