The new ACSS AVID site on weebly

This is our new AVID site on weebly.  I intend to use this blog to share what wonderful and crazy things we are doing in the AVID classes here at ACSS.  Half the time we are experimenting, trying out different teaching methods, in a never-ending quest for relevant, student-centered, problem-based opportunities for students, infusing technology in meaningful ways and not for the sake of using technology (that is, when the wifi cooperates!), all while WICOR'ing while we work!  For those of you who are a little confused right now, WICOR is an AVID acronym for writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading.  Even after 8 years of teaching students in the AVID program and 21 years of teaching experience, I'm still humbled daily by the fact I still have a lot to learn and my AVID partner and I are incredibly fired up about learning new things, as well as reassessing what we do and how we do it.  I know that is very vague, however, I hope to use this blog to clarify and hopefully better articulate this some specific things we are attempting.
