Weekend Academy

I really enjoyed Sat. and Sunday's topics and all the information that was covered. Boy, Dr. Closen can sure cover a lot of information in a short period of time.
The young lady that my group interviewed did an outstanding job maintaining her composer. Her answers were well received and her sincerety really shined through.
Whatever district lucks out and gets to add her name to their staff is going to very fortunate.

Sunday's presentations were very informative. You could really tell everyone did the leg work necessary. I especially enjoyed Jay's delivery. I don't know if it was his calm demeanor or his confidence and knowledge in the subject matter. But Jay, I want to take your class next. LOL

I also enjoyed Debbie's and Lisa's presentation very much about "CyberBullying". They did an excellent job mixing up their presentation with actual footage to keep our interest. The clips they shared with the class were perfect at getting their point across. I just also would like to add, as many of you are already aware, I have 3 computer classes I teach, along with other classes. Trust me, the dangers of "Cyber bullying" and "My Space" are topics I am discussing on a daily basis. I am constantly drilling and discussing the latest information and showing specific TV clips of the dangers that lerk right next door in some cases. I am always reading the latest information about these prevalant topics to my students so they can be aware and use their head when in a given situation and not do anything they will forever regret. Trust me, many of them have left my room "scare straight"and that is the way for these troubling times with our youth I beleive it needs to be.
Enjoyed the class. Everbody take care and the best of luck in the future. You guys are born leaders.
