With our first full week of the New Tech experience completed at Calumet High School, I thought it was time to recap what we've accomplished and as well as a few of the hurdles we've had to jump over!

There was some frustration involved as school opened up last week as the Science lab lacked the ability to access the internet. June and I instead focused on the culture of New Tech, what the students could expect and how our projects would slowly ramp up in their professionalism. Our first project will be a bridge between what they've done in the past and what will be expected of them in the very new future.

One source of frustration actually turned into a strength about my partnership with June. We spent the summer time working on developing and firm plan in place to be super organized, and yet we spent our first full week ad libbing things and being about 15minutes ahead of the students. It's not that we didn't have a plan in place, it was that we were not able to execute the plans we made for one reason or another. What we found, however, is that June and I can be flexible and rolled with the punches. We teamed up, rescheduled our plans, and moved forward.
