Brian is the kind of teacher that could give all teachers a good name by association. He found a common interest for his student and used it to make the curriculum relevant for all the students in his class. I was particularly impressed with his ability to provide opportunities for individual students. He has a range of achievement levels in his class and he was able tailor activities so that all students had some of their needs are met. The introduction of some technology in addition was pretty cool. He may not admit it but he has the soul of a special educator. gfs

And, they had figured out how to do video chats already! I had told them on Tuesday that creating a video chat would be one of the requirements of the scavenger hunt. So I was impressed that they had already done this by the time I arrived on the scene. Their enthusiasm got me pumped for the field trip in general! At the beginning of the theatre presentation, Scott asked our group what their impressions were of Apple. And, the usual comments were discussed... Apple products are more expensive.... not pervasive in the business community... etc. By the end of the presentation, I think the group fully understood about what makes Apple stuff so unique. Scott was a trooper and spend way more time than I expected lead...
