I make an attempt to keep this blog as professional as possible and share ideas and ways to integrate technology purposefully in the classroom.
In light of recent events, I have been thinking how much the world has changed in my lifetime and it saddens me. I grew up in a small town in North Carolina and I remember not having to lock our doors when we went shopping. I remember going to an elementary school that housed kindergarten and first grade in a separate building and the school doors were never locked. I remember being able to play with my friends in the neighborhood until dark during the summer without having to worry about something bad happening. It saddens me that children today are missing out on innocent times.
I pray that God wraps his arms around each and every family member of those lost last Friday. I pray that God holds close the faculty, staff, and students that survived that horrible event. I pray that God keeps our high schools safe today and tomorrow as the talk of bringing a weapon to school for the "last day on earth seems to be everywhere in the news. I pray that we can help our students be as innocent and worry free so they can enjoy their childhood.
Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe and happy New Year.
