TECH TIP: Snapchat
When I talk with students about their social media preferences, Snapchat is always at the top of the list. Snapchat is a messaging application that shares a picture or video. You can annotate these images with drawings, word messages, and other filters. You send these "snaps" to your Snapchat friends and once they open the image, it disappears after 10 seconds. You can now buy on-demand geofilters, that overlay your images and are based on your geographic location. This is a picture of some of the female staff lined up before graduation using the special MMRHS graduation geofilter. Shout out Krista Kennedy, Lisken Van Pelt Dus, Beth Spence, Kristi Farina, Kathy Erickson, Nancy Graham and Kathy Roy!
BOOK TIP: Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman
Neal Shusterman is a well regarded young adult author. This novel is the story of a young man newly diagnosed with schizophrenia. The story weaves between the "real" world of Caden and the world of his mind. It took me a bit to get into this, but once you are in and realize what is going on, and those worlds start to overlap, you are hooked. Very compelling. The book is interwoven with artwork by the author's son, who is also schizophrenia, and much of the story came from these original drawings.
