moving along

So i feel we are into the routine of the game. I still need to add the whole live session piece. I think that will be a friday moring thing.
But this job has ruined me for checkping papers by hand! I think if I ever when back to the paper world, I would PDF the papers. Carol approved me getting a tablet input devices. I cannot wait to play with that.

The Adobe connect will be fun to play with. I plan on worksheet activities. with input. Group writes. Shared vidoes and prezi

But yesterday staff meeting was interesting. Carol's way of doing things is. She starts generally talking about something. that means she has researched it and we are probably going this way unless a really good reason comes up. So what she put out there was we are doing a high school using Florida Virtual High School. I looked it up. Nice option. Really professional. More features.  Can you say teacher conferences in Florida!!
I am the only one on staff certified in secondary sooooo but there are the WAY people.

WAY is the current credit recovery program for high school OS offers now. Not so popular.Carol is in charge of it come Janurary. Tresa is doing part of it to. I am worried we are losing them.

However Carol said:
"If the supers decided to do the high school - that's not what I signed on today " doe that mean there's another admin position for me!!
"Right now we are just a project. In four years we may be our own group" I want to be the director of that group after Carol retires again
" Some of you will be asked to do parent meetings" I hope I am one !!

Hopes for being an admin next year !!! Really hopes for march but hey I would take next year..

Oh did I tell you I submitted my application for Board of education member in Rochester. I want the professional experince, the knowledge and yeah the power but Carol does it  yeah she's my new hero
