Teachers, There is a great professional development opportunity on January 27, sponsored by the Department of Instructional Technology. UNConferenceRVA will be held at Glen Allen High School from 8am-4pm, bringing together teachers from all over the region to share ideas and strategies on how 21st century skills and digital tools are used in the classroom. The event is FREE and lunch is provided. You will need to fill out a school-related leave form to attend the event. If you have any questions, let me know.

This is a pretty cool event being run by our Math division. Teachers are encouraged to participate.

Great way to track trends for current events or voting.

"This time-lapse video has never been more relevant. As the eyes of the world are fixed on events in Ukraine and Crimea, its good to have a little perspective on the ever-changing flux of borders throughout time. Very cool!"
