"Teachers must become comfortable as co-learners with their students and with colleagues around the world.
Today it is less about staying ahead and more about moving ahead as members of dynamic learning communities.
The digital-age teaching professional must demonstrate a vision of technology infusion and develop the technology skills of others.
These are the hallmarks of the new education leader." —Don Knezek, ISTE CEO, 2008

Introductory Letter To Parents
ATTITUDE HOUSE PARENTS
In an effort to teach our children 21st century skills, we introduced www.edmodo.com to the students today. It is a SECURE online community that ONLY Attitude House students and staff can access.
It is an opportunity for students to think together, share together, and learn together in a controlled environment. We will be utilizing this in all of our classes as a way to enrich classroom dialogue.
If you do not have INTERNET access at home, your student will be the first students allowed to use the computers in our house during team study. We also understand that a computer or internet access may not happen due to equipment failure. We will work with your son or daughter if this technology failure arises.
Finally, if there is any misuse of language by an individual student as outlined by our district technology use form, which all students signed at the beginning of the year, that student will lose their privilege of remaining in our online learning community.
