The Turning of the Tides and Michael Vey

As in the all things education, the tides are constantly shifting and changing.  So my blog is taking a new direction; one that will uncover my passion and hopefully ignite yours... to read!

So what does this have to do with Michael Vey? This is THE book that has inspired this new direction my blog is taking.  I absolutely loved this book, it's summertime, school's out, and I have no one to tell.  I have recommended this book so many times simply because other students devour it and tear through the series.  I finally see why!
Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 is about a young man who has superhuman powers, as in electric powers.  Of course he hides it so no one will know; in fear of hurting another or what might happen if he is found out.  But one day, he meets another... kind of like him.  And then the world around him starts falling apart.  There are people after him, for his powers of course, and they will do anything, even harming people close to him.  They want to control Michael and the others like him and their motives are evil.

He's an incredibly strong guy, standing firm in his resolve to do what's right, and has some really intelligent, gifted friends that stand by him through some dangerous situations.  Just when you think there is absolutely no way they could ever escape...well... I'll leave that for you to find out.

Michael Vey: This Prisoner of Cell 25 is on the Middle School Battle of the Books list which is currently what I'm working on reading through.  Even if you are not interested on being on the team, this list is a great go to for diverse, reputable recommendations.  I tend to get stuck in one genre when left to my own devices, but this list will challenge you to step out of your reading comfort zone and try something different.

Maybe it's time to turn your tides to Michael Vey:  The Prisoner Cell 25

Day 1 Training

Day 1 tablet training took place on June 21st.  I went in with very few expectations; everything was so new and unknown, I didn't know what expectations to have.  They tiered the training for beginner and advanced and I had signed up for the advanced class; not because I am an advanced user of technology, but because I find technology user friendly, in most cases, and easy to figure out with some "tinkering". My only concern at this point was keeping up with the rest of the class. Every school has been assigned what they have termed a PLEF (Personalized Learning E-something Facilitator??)  This is a person that is assigned to our school to guide us and help us through this process. Ours is fantastic and dynamic!!  And he was our instructor the first day. Day 1 was spent as it should; learning where things are on the tablet, leaning how the interactive features work, exploring applications and some functions on the tablet.  There were also a ton of Ampl...
