"Technomancer" is a term a number of my students adopted during their 6th grade year that combines technology and necromancer (magician, sorcerer) and reflects their comfort with and ability to manipulate technology and apply it in new, transformative ways in education." reports David Baroody, teacher in the middle school. It is a fitting term for the new student technology group that was assembled just prior to the Back To School Night in late September. The group's first task? Helping during the evening event to get the parents wired and connected to two new information initiatives - The Middle Matters, a blog written by MS head, Ken Rogers and The Middle School Lobby the go to place on our virtual learning environment where parents can access everything from divisional news and calendars, to athletics and grade level pages. And their next tasks? Helping the rest of us to get wired and connected. Baroody is especially excited about this team because it offers students comfortable with technology a way to share their expertise and practice leadership roles in technology while benefiting the whole MS community.
