Brining Experts into the Classroom Virtually

As we were working on our Digital Citizenship PBL, the Smart Hawks team realized that they needed more information about using Smartboards safely and responsibly than they were able to find online.  We decided to invite Ms. Heather Lamb with Smart Technologies to Skype with the team so they could learn more.  Mrs. Lamb was so incredibly accommodating and sent the team several documents in advance. The team crafted some questions and were excited to collaborate with Mrs. Lamb.  

When it was time to make the phone call, all I did was was get Skype set up and the team took over from there.  We are so grateful to be learning in this time where technology helps us break down the walls of our classroom.  We also realize how lucky we are to be learning in a district that embraces 21st century skills.  If you would like to learn more about how our district is transforming so "All students enjoy thriving productive lives in a future they create," please visit the Lewisville ISD Strategic Design website.
