"The job title "21st Century Learning Specialist" does not give the same clear picture to many people as the title of 2nd grade , Librarian or Spanish teacher might. I get many blank looks when I answer the innocent question of "So, what do you do?"

I know…I know… many of you don't like the term "21st Century Something"."
"We (Head of school,Jon Mitzmacher, 5th Grade Classroom teacher, Shelly Zavon, Middle School Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Reppert, Technology Director & 21st Century Learning Specialist,Andrea Hernandez and two of our students, Sabrina & Hannah) were interviewed by Alan November for his NL Podcast Series about the use of student jobs in the classroom!"
