Current Status
Currently, I believe that at Springs we are ready for more. We have the one-to-one devices, and already have personalized learning plans that we put together with parents. Learners taking more control of their learning seems to be the obvious next step. I believe that we are ready to allow for students to have a greater part in planning their education (how they present information, where they gather information from, etc). Let's get started! -
