...Our Innovative Proposal

19 years ago Bay Farm School opened as a school of choice with a technology focus. Over time, through several years of budget cuts, we lost our K-6 configuration, single track Year Round calendar, specialized schedules, and cutting edge technology integration.

But we now have a chance to launch our 20th year with an Innovative Proposal....21st Century Learning at Bay Farm! We are so excited!

We are working on our proposal right now. There are four major components:
  • Configuration
  • Calendars and Schedules
  • 21st Century Learning
  • 1:1 Technology Initiative 
These components are being developed using best practices and researched strategies within a process that involves students, teachers, parents, and our community.

Here's a link to our initial proposal.
Here's a link to followup additional proposal information.

This blog will share technology tools and strategies we are implementing as we explore the use of  iPads and netbooks to build collaborative intelligence and consider them for our 1:1 Technology Initiative of a schoolwide wireless learning environment; a component of our Innovative Proposal for  2012-2013.

I hope to share ideas, projects, resources, and plans we implement during our weekly Library/Media Center visits K-5 this school year.
