How do we reach every child with technology? How do we select the tools and build a framework so that we can reach every child. Here are the slides with the differentiating instruction with technology presented in Akron in June 2018
4. A letter from Rebekah
“Mrs.Vicki,
I cannot put into words how great of a teacher and amazing person you are. I
love your class and the fact that you don’t only do what will suffice, but strive to
make everything that happens at our school phenomenal and the best it can be.
You are honestly the most inspirational person I’ve ever met, and just so you
know, you’re on my dream team.
Thank you for having the patience your job requires and everything you’ve
done to help us all become the best versions of ourselves. I’m blessed that I just
so happen to be born, of all of the places in the world, near Camilla and was
able to meet you and have a beam of your light shine on my life.
You have completely changed my outlook on this world and opened so many
doors of opportunity I previously had no idea existed.
Before I met you, I hadn’t even considered a career in art. But you have
altered my perspective and I now realize that there are endless opportunities
and options for an artistic career.
I appreciate that you are so real and that you are not afraid to say, ‘hey, you’re
not perfect,’ because no one is. And you realize that the beauty of our flaws is
that they accentuate our better features.
I’m not a believer in predestination, but I believe that God does coax us in the
direction of wonderful things, and I believe he urged you to come back to
Camilla to do amazing things; and what amazing things you have done!
I am so grateful for all that you do and I hope you have an amazing summer!;)
Rebekah”
