Welcome to the Wissahickon World Language Blog!

This blog has been created to generate a conversation about the Wissahickon World Language Department. We can discuss anything at all here, from curriculum to everyday activities that have been a success.

Technology

The reason for the creation of this blog was to first discuss Technology and its role in our language classrooms. Please read the questions that follow and respond thoughfully and honestly.

Try not to be too skeptical because we have been promised progress in the area of technology and this time, it's for real! I'm very confident that our new Technology Director, Debbie Cline-Eck, will help to turn Wissahickon School District into a district that uses technology effectively to the benefit of all of its stakeholders.
