Refreshed and Restricted?

Two things to mention today. First, we just got back from spring break week. Such a nice break for all of us. And guess what? That means we only have 8 weeks of school left! Whoo hoo! It's certainly bittersweet though, because I have THE BEST students ever who are doing THE COOLEST projects ever! Here's to you classes of 2015-2016 "step up your game!"

Second thing that we're running into is a bit of a hurdle for all of us. The internet is always a moving thing, and we've pushed a much needed update across the school system to continue to ensure online security and clear our bandwidth up (a.k.a. too many people streaming videos and using various sites at the same time clogs up the pipes!) On the unfortunate side of things, this means a lot of us are reaching 'virtual' brick walls with our 20% time projects - some sites we've been using have now been blocked. So please, don't judge us too harshly these last few weeks aren't as visibly productive as you've seen leading up to today. We'll be working over the kinks of having some of our resource sites blocked, like Gmail, YouTube, Pinterest, etc.

Our new mantra for the year: "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming... just keep surfing (the internet)"
