You can download low-resolution PDF files for home printing, or high-resolution PDF files if you want to have the materials professionally printed and folded for an event.

One of the keys ways to help students develop their reading skills is to help them find something they're interested in reading about. Learning about their names, and the name of their family members and friends, could certainly fit into the "high-interest" category. And there are several websites that are designed to facilitate learning just that. After exploring these sites (or before), students can also talk with their family to learn other stories behind their names.

The eight comprehensive case studies that follow highlight schools that have used technology to improve student achievement and operational efficiency. Although they offer only a snapshot of the exciting advances schools have made, they are designed to encourage principals to reflect on their practices and look to other schools for new ideas. When reading the case study consider if any of these schools provide inspiration for what could be implemented at your own school site. Then use the 21st century school visioning tool as a resource to structure and capture ideas that you may want to consider incorporating into your school or classroom. Results can be viewed here .
