Kraig Pritts, Superintendent
Tully Central School District
Anytime, Anywhere Learning
January 13, 2011, 8:00 - 1:00
CNYRIC
In order to thrive in today’s society our students must learn to work together and collaborate. In too many areas the education system remains locked into a focus on the individual and “traditional” methods of learning. Our students thrive on access to information and learning in many ways far different from what most schools offer in today’s world. This discussion will center on breaking down the barriers of time, location, and logistics in order to provide “anytime, anywhere” learning opportunities for students of all ages, in all settings. Learn how the Tully Central School District is taking the Board of Education’s challenge of “No more business as usual” to overcome obstacles through innovation. Superintendent Kraig Pritts will discuss how new learning tools such as video conferencing and Amazon’s Kindle can make the world a smaller place and offer a more enriching learning experience for students in this small rural school district. Watch and share in demonstrations about Kindles in the classroom, video conferencing, and distance learning that take students to learning beyond the walls of the school building to enable anytime, anywhere learning.
