While completing this assignment I realized that BLATCHLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL (BMS) is the STEP-CHILD of the Sitka School District. ALL other schools located within the Sitka School District have more ADVANCED up to date technology than BMS with easier access. However, the teachers at the school feel the benefits that technology can bring are worth enough to spend MONEY out of their own pockets for their CLASSROOMS.
- ALL of the technology that is found within the MIDDLE SCHOOL is shared between all the teachers.
- No need TRADE OR BRIBE in exchange for the use of the item.
- The LACK OF TECHNOLOGY, is made up for by the staff and teachers who have a UNIQUE sense of style, enthusiasm and creativity. All attributes that can enhance the learning process to make it a memorable one!
I have learned from all those at BLATCHLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL that you learn to become more CREATIVE when making do with what you have. In a PERFECT WORLD there would be more time in a day and more MONEY available to the districts. With or without the technology the teachers at Blatchley can create PRETTY COOL CLASSES!
