Our school is implementing a one to one computer initiative with grade nine students this year.  It is quite a change for many staff and students but one that truly should be a part of every student’s education.  Many teachers have embraced the idea while others are not finding technology useful in their curriculum.

I began this school year somewhat differently than usual.  My classes began group work right away.  I did not wait till they were “ready” and I felt they knew their responsibilities well enough to work with others.  We began our year together getting to know each other through small group work.
