All students are given a specific “task”.

and how technology is a necessary component in their daily lives.
Need to think critically while preparing the events of the day. This includes admin preparation, written activities, and surveys.
Solve problems such as creating a lesson on the subject through researching and managing the information gathered.
Make connections between their knowledge of the newest technology and how to teach someone with no knowledge.
A Ramsey Student Will…

Be independent and able to adapt to change when asked questions by the seniors that are not part of the lesson.
Exhibit character and demonstrate responsibility as the students represent the student body of Smith School.
