GCISD has a long history of innovation in technology. Our elementary campuses are 1:1, or a device for every student. This past January, two of our middle schools also went 1:1. In August of 2016, our other two middle schools will go 1:1. Some of the students from the first middle schools contacted me so that they could reflect on their experiences in a podcast episode. We talked about the differences between BYOD and 1:1, what they like, and what they get to create in this new world.Contact us: gcisd.podcast@gcisd.net with any questions!

Dr. Suzanne Newell & Evan Payne are on the podcast to talk about all things book challenge. As you may know, GCISD has issued an ambitious challenge this year to all K-12th grade students. From the work of Penny Kittle & Donalyn Miller, we are challenging them to read 25 books independently (or 100 picture books for younger readers) this year from a variety of genres and authors. The primary goal of this challenge is to promote the love of reading. We believe that once students get a taste of the joy reading can bring, 25 books (or 100) will only be the beginning of their lifelong journey as a reader.
