Dear Staff,

We have enough time to do these activities. Nothing takes precedence over these activities. Nothing! With the end of CSTs and the dawn of CCSS, and 1:1 devices, nothing we are doing in English or ELA is more important than becoming teacher experts in these critical areas. And nothing is more important than taking the time now to teach our students about digital citizenship.

Have fun!

Jon
