Well, I've finally done it.  I've entered the 21st Century and embraced social media as a method of constructive communication.  We all know the pitfalls that Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, and the like have created for schools; however, I think if used correctly these methods of modern contact can serve a positive purpose.  So, this is my new blog.  Look around, explore, let me know what you think.  Of course, this is still a work in progress so there isn't a lot here yet....

Back in the dark ages (last semester) I tried to put out a weekly newsletter to my staff called Flight of the Falcon.  While I feel like I put out a few quality issues with some useful information, I was not successful in keeping up with my own expectations.  I want to pick up from there, in what I hope will prove to be a more useful and interactive format.  I still plan to include some of my own personal reflections, but now you can comment on them!  Oh, what have I done?!?  No, really, I hope to see some engaging professional exchanges on all that I offer here.  You will also find useful links, news about staff, great things happening in classrooms, and celebrations of our students.

So, once more, welcome in.  Make yourselves at home and look around.  Visit often.  Share and invite your own colleagues and friends to do the same.

Yours in Education,
Mr. V
