Envision Innovation

Yesterday was Dripping Spring ISD's first annual Envision Innovation conference for elementary teachers. Although it was a long day, it was a day filled with many "ah-ha" moments and excitement. I talked with many teachers yesterday who seemed to be inspired and filled with great ideas. Some of the highlights of my day were....

• Speaking with Jan Rice who has this wonderful idea for helping her third grade students really understand the layout and location of all of the important places in our Dripping Springs Community. 
• Watching people get silly at the photo booth (awesome pictures to come). I think Jennifer Payne's  picture is one of my favorites. 
• Watching Kristen Northrup win the iPad Mini. I wish I had a picture of that moment. Her excitement and joy when her name was called was a priceless moment. 
• Presenting about Digital Books with Vicki Lynch and the engagement and excitement that group showed. Also, having a student come in and read her digital book to us was a treat. 
• The Envision Innovation round table, where wonderful and dedicated DSISD parents and teachers shared with us their thoughts, concerns, and ideas. 

There were so many wonderful moments that happened yesterday! Including the fact that we were on the News! Check it out here:
