Hi Chris. Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get Virginia students involved. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Chris
I am also a high school Spanish teacher in Vermont. My classroom inherited 25 hand me down computers this year. I have been trying use wikis and blogs and I think I have had a little success. We tried connecting with epals to some classrooms in Spain and Columbia but I don't feel that that has worked out very well. I know I have a lot to learn so I am thrilled to find teachers with experience.

Hello Chris,

Our ITRT at covering the Goochland Secondary Complex has a Spanish teaching background. Her blog is http://blogs.glnd.k12.va.us/teachers/bcantor/

Promethean Boards continue to be our focus in Goochland Schools. This tool helps teachers change the way they teach. The middle school has had boards in every classroom for two years now. We will complete the high school this summer and have started the elementary initiative. We will have 6 at Bryd, 4 at Goochland Elementary (maybe 5 with another PTA gift) and 3 at Randolph. Our G21 projects were a great success this year. If you follow our web site at all, you may have heard of them. Good training is the key to any initiative and Bea is a good example of what good training is all about. Tom
