Anaya Ellick wins a National Award
This girl must be really active in what she does and to be able to win a national award for handwriting, especially in her young age, it is an achievement in herself. But what makes Anaya Ellick’s accolade extra special is that the seven-year-old accomplished the feat despite having no hands. Even more amazing? The first-grader from Virginia, won the prestigious Nicholas Maxim Special Award for Excellence in Manuscript Penmanship, on April 11, does not use prosthetics. The young girl produces her perfect penmanship by standing close to her desk with her pencil firmly gripped between her forearms.
While the impeccable handwriting may surprise the world, Tracy Cox, her Principal of Greenbrier Christian Academy where Anaya goes to school, is not. In fact, her Principal entered her in the annual national handwriting competition. The young girl who competed in the category for students with special needs had to outshine 50 contestants to win the award. But there was little to worry about. Said the judges, many of who are occupational therapists, were "just stunned" by the quality of Anaya's printing. Wright says, "Her writing sample was comparable to someone who had hands."
We should be able to bring our own devices to school?
We should be able to bring our own devices to school?
I think that Tautoro School students should be able to bring their own devices to school as the cost of paying for a new device can be too much for any family.
I think it would be great to bring a smartphone or digital device from home to school because it’s one of the easiest ways to see where you child are when you are worried about them. You might even be lucky to have a GPS to track down where your child has gone.
What are some easy ways to connect with friends and family?
Facebook, Emails, hangouts and other site will be able to connect with friends and family.
BUT WHY do we need to have these types of devices in school?
Saying that it has always been this way, doesn’t count as a legitimate justification to why it should stay that way. Teachers and administrators all over the world are doing amazing things, but some of the things we are still doing, despite all the new solutions, research and ideas out there is, to put it mildly, incredible.
I’m not saying we should just make the current system better… we should change it into something else.
I have compiled a list of 14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools and it is my hope that this will inspire lively discussions about the future of education.
