Good Afternoon All,
I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to provide a brief update about what we are learning in Introduction to Technology.
This week we began discussing transportation and the technology that has revolutionized transportation around the globe. We have discussed alternative energy sources including: bio-fuel, solar energy, hydro-electric power, and wind energy. 7th grade students are preparing to begin and complete their bridge construction project. While, 8th grade students are preparing for their innovative twist to a popular T.V. show. They will pick a method of transportation and technologically spice it up a bit.
I will provide pictures and more updates later.
Signing off for now,
Coach Muse

Update Extravaganza
Good Afternoon All,
The spring semester is in full swing! For Connections teachers such as myself, the third nine-weeks is now under way. New students always bring a new opportunity to improve upon the lesson plans, activities, and instruction that I gave in the previous nine-weeks. Having made several adjustments from the first nine-weeks, 8th grade students participated in a new project, centered in transportation technology. I will post pictures with a web link following this post.
To begin this third nine-weeks students are now learning about inventions around the world. Understanding the impact of global inventions, innovations, and engineering based achievements students will be more prepared to study transportation technology, communication technology, as well as information technology. Understanding our place in the Global Market is critical for these students as they are currently seeing a paradigm shift as global communication, trading, and travel is more present than ever before!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our educational path for this nine-weeks please contact me at jmuse@rcs.rome.ga.us.
Sincerely,
Coach Muse
