Let's Tell Our Stories

Hi all,As most of you no doubt know, there are a couple of documentaries which are either out or going to be out soon which probably don't make teachers look like they are doing a very good job. I'm thinking specifically of "Waiting for Superman" and "Race to Nowhere."We have a new project that we started today where we would like to share our story. Our objective is to let all stake-holders have an opportunity to present a 1 to 2 minute clip of what they think represents either the best in…See More

This will have to be limited to the first 20 participants as I am using the free online and screen-sharing website, http://dimdim.com (which has a limit of… Continue
