WT Staff Present at Free-Tech 2011

Rachel Ritchey and Susan Henize were featured presenters yesterday at the Free-Tech Conference. The presentation "A Cinderella Story" highlighted the journey from no-tech to high-tech at Withamsville Elementary. Mrs Nazzarine and Mrs. Schmidt gave a brief history of the move into the new building and District initiatives. Ritchey and Henize captured the attention of the audience with lessons integrating technology. The true stars of the show were the pre-school students that were featured in video clips during the presentation. Nothing says "technology rocks" like three and four year old students sqealing, jumping, and clapping over their accomplishments at the Smart Board and Tap-it!
