Wolf Technology

I can honestly say that I am amazed at the changes that Sitka High School has made in the past ten years. As most of you know, I graduated from Sitka High (Go Wolves!) in 1997; I sat through Baz Luhrmann's "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" in the then-new gymnasium, and waited to exit the building forever. Now, I'm back.
Aside from making bad music and clothing choices (not to ignore the makeup and hair), the students of ten years ago dealt with dial-up connections and 35 mm film cameras.
Oh jeeze!
Sitka High is trying its best to keep up with new waves of technology and, I admit, they are doing a pretty good job. The students have active support in their technology training and do have resources available to them. It is expected by all that students act responsibly and respectfully when it comes to computer use and equipment handling.
My one major critique is that there are a number of old-skool (yup, that's right) teachers that refuse to touch technology with a ten-foot pole. I'm not naming any names, but they know who they are.

Oh yes ... here is the link to my most fascinating technology report. I walked to the ends of the earth for some of this information; I dueled Monsters of the Deep, fell into the Bog of Eternal Stench, and scaled the Cliffs of Insanity. It was worth it though ... yes it was.
