A big portion of these kids are special ed, I don't think you can tell :) especially in Ms.B's classes, the SP kids showed things nobody suspected they were capable of. We are very proud of them.

With your interest in Education Technology for your GEAR UP Partnership, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
