Tech-Savvy Students Teach Teachers



Salisbury High School might be a small school , but it is big on star power.  Mark Attilio and Megan Heverly made us especially proud of them on April 17, 2009, when Carbon-Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21 held their first annual CFF Showcase.  Megan and Mark joined a large group of teachers from IU 21 to showcase two years of project-based learning in their English classroom. To Salisbury’s credit, many participants at the conference commented that since Megan and Mark were such knowledgeable presenters, they mistook them for teachers. Any who knows this team understands their professionalism in approaching a task. One of Mark and Megan’s favorite recollections of the day occurred when a teacher said to them, “You have no idea how much I learn from my students.” Their response: “We know what you mean.” That tells you how really good this team is: they are humble with their abilitity and knowledge, but so willing to share it.  Once again, they proved that Salisbury Students Are Tech Savvy, and consummate professionals as well. Students like Attilio and Heverly lead the way in true 21st century learning, creating partnerships in education that are dynamic, ground-breaking, worthwhile, and overdue.

Presentation resources are available on Megan Heverly’s Edublog.  The video they made uses SnagIt to screen capture their digital footprint.
