The first day of school went really well. It was great to see all of the Manassas crew. The school, teachers, and students looked great. Several nice pieces of art were installed in the school over the weekend. The main hallway is incredible. I met the artist and he used graphics to create art that is really tied in to the history and spirit of Manassas. Four framed pieces of art were installed in the library. I’m thrilled. The art ties into the themes of literacy and technology. Several teachers have created blogs. I conducted a training session last Wednesday and they are up and running. They are encouraging their students to post comments. We are going to work on creating student blogs for journaling. They have been just as excited about the new technology that I’ve shared as I was during Tech Camp. Web 2.0 applications are addictive.

Good to see your staff is getting on board. Let me know how it goes. I am planning to get our staff at Downtown to convert from TeacherWeb to Edublogs, so if you have any suggestions for the staff training, send them my way.
Your blog looks good!
