Welcome back my Digital Natives! I hope you had a relaxing summer and are all set to begin the journey of collaborative learning with your peers. (And when I say peers, I don't mean just your JRG peers. I mean your global peers.) This year I hope to get you communicating with peers from all over the world.
One way we are going to begin is by accessing our Google Student E-mail Accounts. The address to the portal is also on the JRG website.
Here is a quick little video on how Google Docs work.

Offering real life experiences is a goal of ours at J.R. Gerritts Middle School. We encourage our students to become life long learners and develop skills to help them take charge of their own learning and to create their own learning opportunities.
The Computer Applications Department at J.R. Gerritts Middle School is designed to prepare our students for the 21st Century. Students are engaging in technical applications more and more and we strive to make sure our students are ready.
We not only teach the technical abilities, but also the less concrete aspects. We teach our students how to critically think through a task, work in teams collaboratively and how to reach out to the global community using the technology readily available to us.

The Transescent Turtle
To be or not to be,
This question bothers me.
Adulthood, or Childhood,
Which will it be?
I face the future on my own,
And tell you I can go it alone.
I need the safety of my shell.
Yet, want to feel grown up as well.
When I hide behind my shades
And seem to tune you out,
I know that you will understand -
That's what I'm all about!
