YOU can change the climate and culture of your grade level, your department, your coaching staff, your school. If you are waiting for someone else to change it, you could be waiting forever.

@EversourceCT I have been trying to report an outage for over an hour. Neither the online report feature, nor the phone reporting are functioning. When the system tries to refer me to a CSR, it disconnects the call.
Outage: Unionville at intersection of CT4 and CT177

When you have 20 people (parents, teachers, followers) saying positive things & 1 person saying negative, if you focus on the negative, then you are saying that person’s opinion is more important than the other 20. Don’t get wrapped up with negative people.

This looks like fun!

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

Teaching matters more than tech.

Technology is great in the classroom where there is also a great teacher.

Schools don’t need tech geeks who can teach. We need teaching geeks who can use tech.

If you change the technology but don’t change your lesson, nothing really changes.

[Internet Safety Concepts @Scott_Driscoll]

Had a great night at Irving A. Robbins Middle School working with parents. Fantastic turn out and great conversations about keeping families safe. Be Safe!!

[Matt Ross @MattRoss_CT]

What a great presentation to our parents this evening @FarmingtonIAR from Scott Driscoll #internetsafetyconcepts.com. Great info about keeping our kids safe with personal technology and making good choices.
