Simply put, our @RPS_Schools Middle School Ss are BEYOND creative! Not only did they design their own comics, but they also shared their screens so we all could see their masterpieces! 💗🙌🏽 @mrsblandrva @PfisterITRT @RVAITRTs @PixtonEDU

"The NextUp portal launched at the perfect time! It was just when boredom was setting in. The online classes got her up and going. It’s been a good thing – a real plus for her. NextUp has really opened a lot of opportunities for her,” said Teairra, a #NextUp parent.⁣ #WeAreRPS

We partied & played Jeopardy w our @TechConnectRVA Ss today! Correction... We had a "Jeoparty"! (See what I did there?! 🤣) Ss created their own topics & answers on Jeopardy-style game boards & then got to act as game show hosts! What a blast! @mrsblandrva @RPS_Schools @NextUpRVA

[Nicole Lenard @LenardITC]

Had a BLAST challenging my @NextUpRVA @TechConnectRVA Ss w @gimkit ! 1st Ss played on their own. Next, worked in teams. Finally, each contributed their own questions! So. Much. Fun! Best part? Ss were learning & didn't know it! 🙌🏽 Have you tried it yet?! @RPS_Schools @RVAITRTs

“It gives kids who probably couldn’t do it on their own a chance to actually do it for free. Parents don’t have to worry about any expenses."

Thanks to the great @TechConnectRVA instructors who taught @RPS_Schools students how to make GIFs during a class on #NextUpRVA's online enrichment portal. We loved the fun GIFs students created using #RVA mascots - Nutzy from @GoSquirrels & @DoubleZeroVCU! https://t.co/HDX6AUmji6
