reflection

The STEP training has been a wonderful experience for Rockledge. For me, I am really excited about learning about blogs. As an educational administrator, at times I am so busy that I don't take time to experience all that is going on in our world with technology. During the election I took note of how many people referred to blogs but I didn't really get it. Once I learned the idea behind it, I realized this election was really won because of the way people were communicating. That is a powerful change.

I am now on a committee for the Summer Leadership Institute and came up with the idea of sending 30 second videos to principals to entice them to enter a talent show. Prior to participating in the STEP Grant, I would never have thought of such an effective way to compel people to participate.

The STEP Grant, over the past two years has been instrumental in our school's growth in the use of technology every day. Those teachers that were not able to be a part want desperately to be part of it. Those involved really do teach others. We just don't have the time we wish we had to bring everyone along as fast as 1. they want to and 2. the kids deserve for us to teach everyone. Teaching everyone remains one of our goals at Rockledge. We can't thank the STEP Staff enough for all they have done for Rockledge. We will never be the same! We are so grateful.
