Rossville

Rossville School in Coleville School is an elementary school with three teachers in the building. This makes it challenging to meet the needs of our students in the classroom and providing extra-curricular options as well as having time to meet as staff members to develop skills related to technology. At the beginning of the year, we had hoped to make time for developing SMARTBoard lessons, but soon, we realized that we simply didn't have the time to devote to this goal. But that certainly does not mean that we didn't learn anything about integrating technology into our classrooms! As well, d uring the year, our previous Lead teacher moved into the Student Support role and our Lead teacher was transferred to our new teacher! It was a huge transition from internship to full blown multi-grade position. We did make great strides in using iPods and the two iPads we have in our school. Toni Fiest, our new Student Support teacher embraced the tablets and has learned and implemented so much with the students in her classes. And Katie has been working with Edmodo, an online tool structured in a similar format to Facebook that allows students to interact with each other in a safe environment.

Our approach to learning has generally been to try different tools as time allows and we plan to continue to develop technology skills in a way that makes sense for our school. - submitted by Wendy Johnson (Administrator)
