Two weeks later

Last week the school was on vacation for Good Friday so we were not able to go the site.

This week I had the pleasure of conversing to Lucy who works in the McDevitt Middle School as a Library Teacher. We discussed several topics from the reality of technology to the digital divide. It was very informative talking with her because she possesses such knowledge of web 2.0 tools, surprised me to be quite honest, that it made me think about how I can get other teachers to have such a passion for web 2.0 or at least be as open to the concept as she is. It went to that extent that she also gave me a bit of research to decrease the digital divide that Bentley Students have with the teachers. I am hoping to propose this to the coordinator of the program.

She created a website just a couple of days ago for the McDevitt Library which can be viewed here: McDevitt Middle School Library.

Right now I am making it my job to find ways to make the program more organized and more understanding of how the students and teachers feel about the program at both McDevitt and Kennedy. Knowing this, Project Managers like myself can brainstorm as to how to make Cluster Challenge a better program for middle school teachers, middle school students, and the Bentley volunteers. This way, we can also figure out how to implement the web 2.0 tools that teachers would like to see in their students projects more efficiently and effectively.
