Technology Teacher Recognition

Congratulations to Marlene Aguilar - our Spring Technology Teacher award winner. Marlene teaches Foreign Language at Leavitt Area High School. She spent last summer developing her first webpage and hasn't looked back since. Her desire to find some students outside of Maine for collaboration led to the formation of "Taking Learning Global" a social network dedicated to sharing learning and cultural experiences across the world. This network now has over 100 students registered from as far away as China, Portugal and Brazil.

Marlene recently organized a blogging training session where the participants launched their classroom blogs in preparation for using this new tool next year. Great job! As a small reward for her contagious enthusiasm, she will receive a digital recorder.

SeƱora Aguilar, enhorabuena!
