Hello PPS Staff, As I was talking with some teachers last night at Grade Group about setting up a blog for their classroom to communicate with parents, I had an epiphany.  I could create a blog for tech training and integration.  I could post tech tips and other links to ways people are using technology in their classrooms.  I know people tend to get sick of receiving hundreds of emails a day, so a blog would let me share information that you could access on your own time when you need it. I hope this will be a useful tool for us here at PPS!
