Engaged Classroom Student Work

Dear Engaged Classroom Teachers,

I am sure by this time in the school year you have completed some great learning projects with your students. To share these great projects we will need to update the internet address of your Engaged Classroom website where we can view your student’s electronic projects.

I have created a new web page where we can share your web page to view your student projects. Please send your updated website address to your Curriculum Technology Specialist and we will make sure it is linked.

Publishing and sharing student projects is very motivating and exciting to highlight how technology is impacting student learning in Jordan School District.

I would like to begin by sharing the student work of Heather Reich’s class at Majestic Elementary.

Remember, you can always call us, your Curriculum Technology Specialists, to support you and your students where needed to continue to create student projects.

Thank you for sharing.
