Through viewing the edu180atl project, we wanted to share some of our stories with Parkland School Division for the 2011-2012 school year. This project is hoping to share the voices of the Parkland School Division and how we are all learners together in this journey as we move forward.
As modeled from the edu180atl project, we would like submissions to be 250 words or less, and answer to the prompt, “what did you learn today?”. Participants will write a short bio about what they do in Parkland to accompany the post which will answer the following:
Who they are? (First name only)
What they do? (grade 1 student, Superintendent, etc.)
What they love?
