Archival Note:  Technology @ Winterhaven, 2005 - 2006.

FYI re technology at Winterhaven, I still keep an archival couple web
pages re my Python class for 8th graders under Mark's supervision in
'05-'06:

In case you're interested:

Mostly I teach this stuff for pay via OSU and PSU (per 2006 W2s w/ my
1040), but decided to give it a whirl as parent-volunteer for my
daughter's school's Wizards that time.  I did two sets of 8th graders,
getting to meet with most all of them that way.


We had fun.

I was on the committee (or thought I was anyway). We met once last
year for what was basically a "please approve the direction we're
going with money allocation even though you haven't seen it before
now, oh, and it has to be approved now because we'd like to present it
to the staff tomorrow" meeting (not that I'm bitter or anything :) -
just felt a little used). And, as far as I know, we haven't met again.

I'd like to see it revived. I'm guessing it might be better done
through the PTSA (with Tanya's buy-in of course) as I'm sure she has
enough to do, though I can't say if that's the "best" way to go or
not.
