No EXPLORATORY Left Behind

The picture shows PE equipment designed to teach character education. The role of exploratory was addressed in this session by allowing each exploratory domain to break into a small group and share ideas using discussion questions. I met an innovative group of about 25 tech teachers and we all shared resources, lessons, & strategies. We will follow up by forming an email listserv! Went to session expecting to find info for my exploratory team but left deep in techno-innovation. Very good & interactive presentation!

Online predators

Very eye opening presentation on all of the tricks predators use to lure middle school kids. Just something as simple as accepting a file can provide a predator a map to your home via savvy IP tracking tools. I learned how to look at profiles to learn a kids true age no matter the age they claim. This is information our kids & parents need!
