As I finish building our new La Crescent-Hokah school website,I sit back and consider where communication has moved to in our digital world. There is more information available at the tips of our fingers than ever before. However, we seem to be less informed in many ways. Parents complain because they didn't know this or that. It is all on the website but there is so much information--where do you begin? Are we in such an informational overload that we turn it all off?

The move to 1:1 is very exciting. Can you imagine each students having a device with him to access the huge knowledge base out there called the Internet? Now to teach them to use it educationally and not just for fun. How do we turn their entertainment use of media to an educational use? So much to teach and so much to learn.
