October Already !

It's hard to believe it is October.  One way I realize this is the STL Cardinals are not playing in the
NLCS this October   This year is not "OURS" 
The  school year started off by introducing 110 Chromebooks on four carts to grades 5-8. This was a huge commitment after struggling with Surface tablets and trying to adapt the iPads to shared devices.  Neither worked well.  It took some trusted friends in technology and public education to convince me that this was the way to go.
We moved the 50 iPads down into grades 3-4 and are fully rolling into the 21st century!  We had our rough spots with wireless and internet access in early September, but now many of the kinks have been worked out by IT.   Now teachers and kids are asking for more!  Wowsers!  And to think that I was resisting this venture into the world of Google for about 3 years.  Painful lesson after seeing how quickly and easily our students and staff adapted to this new platform.   Thanks Chip, Chris, Matt, and Dennis.  I wish I had one of your on my staff!
The Cards... had quite a run with the most victories in the majors.  But sadly the strengths of their season fell apart in the postseason humiliation against the Cubs.  Next year and this year! Rolling strong!
