Learning Can Take Place After School Too!

Here is Jacob playing around with BeFunky.com's filters. While he is obviously having fun changing his picture around, he is also making qualitative observations about what those filters do to his picture. The fact that he is sharing what he is doing with others in the class is a bonus.

Always Evolving, Always Changing

One of the best reasons to become more technologically literate is because technology is always changing.That of course requires us to continue to learn, adapt, and evolve. An active mind is a sharp mind. With that in mind, welcome to the next generation of content collection for Noel Elementary, Grou.ps.

The picture above shows a screen shot of the beginning of our eight grade group. The purpose of the group is two-fold. First, it is a place for students to display content they create using tech (and non-tech) tools. Second, it is a learning community where students can communicate with each other (and selected adults) so they can further their education. With this site, there are no barriers for learning other than computer/internet access.

So, if you will be an eighth grade student at Noel this year, sign up and get started. If you will be in grades 3-7, be patient. Your group is in the works. If you are a teacher and would like to join our community, email me.
