This is Part II of Dr Daniel Johnson's April Curriculum Letter.   21st CENTURY SKILLS How has technology changed our children's world? Often, as educators, we are confronted with many questions regarding technology. As a father, I understand where these questions stem from. Questions such as:   Are our children experiencing too much screen time? Will a 1:1 environment eliminate the traditional ways students learn - paper, pencil, etc.? How does this benefit our students? As we begin to plan for our ...

NEWTON, NJ - The Sussex County Freeholders June 14, 2017 meeting.   

Facebook recently changed its algorithm to reduce organic reach of posts.  In other words, posts to Facebook are being seen by far fewer people.   While Facebook attempts to justify its decision to do so by claiming it is helping to unclutter the user experience, the reality is that businesses that spent money, and in some cases significant money, building up their Likes on Facebook are reeling.  Some are accusing Facebook of a bait and switch. Now if a business wants their post to reach the people that Like their ...

My first and last visit to Nashville was about 15 or 16 years ago with my boyfriend (now husband), and I’ve been craving a return trip for a while, especially since I’m such a big fan of the Nashville TV show on ABC. Luckily, we were able to take the kids on a fun trip there recently, and we wound up flying into Nashville and turning our excursion into a mini-road trip with stops in Chattanooga and Atlanta. After landing at BNA and picking up our rental car (through Costco - always the best deal I can find), we took the 2-hour ...

Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle continued on in the road, leaving our two friends and our hearts suffering. Franc and Stanley brightened the faces of everyone, whether we visited ...

Back in the dark ages of the 1970s, preparing for college was a lot simpler.  I paid attention to which courses I would take, but for a soon-to-be liberal arts major, I didn’t have too much planning to do.  Most of us took our SATs once, perhaps an advanced placement test, and applied to five or six schools.  Then we went on with our lives while waiting for the letters to come, in the mail.  Yes, in an envelope, straight to the mailbox. Today, course selection begins in middle school, so your student can get into ...
