Last week an elementary school in the Parkway School District connected to a very special videoconference- a connection not only with children all over North America, but with former First Lady Barbara Bush. Technology Integration Specialist Ashley Deckelman shared: “Today was amazing! We were able to do a videoconference with Barbara Bush and schools all over the country, even a school in Canada! It was awesome to see the different classrooms, students, and ideas that were shared. Mrs. Bush was a fantastic host, with such “real” answers to the questions that were asked. She truly connected with the students when she spoke about her life, and literacy. A big thanks to all who had a part in making this happen!!”
