School might be out, but class is still in session. At least for some of our Blazer teachers that is. Among the teachers participating in Richland School District Two's S.C. Midlands Summit this past week were Patti Clary, Agnes Knox and Teah Smith (pictured), who are learning about project based learning, google classroom, social media as a way of communicating with parents, discovery techbooks, and more. Enjoy your summer students, and take comfort in that your teachers are already preparing for your arrival back at school in August!
