Tell me what you think

Since 2006 I have had the honor of representing all Hillsborough County children and voters...I created this blog in 2007 and have welcomed the opportunity for feed back throughout my term.

I am now a candidate for re-election and I need your help. Visit my website at http://www.voteapril.com/ .

I still want your input. If you think something is wrong, then tell me how it can be better. If you have information that would help our children, employees, or taxpayers, this is the place to share.

Please also note that this is my personal blog, not the board's. Furthermore, the opinions expressed by posters on this blog may or may not necessarily reflect my opinions or those of the School Board.

Again, if you want to follow my campaign you can go to http://www.voteapril.com .

You can also write me at april@voteapril.com or call 813-417-1102 .

At your service,

April Griffin,
Hillsborough County School Board Member, and Candidate
District 6 (Countywide)

"Rarely heard are the voices of those who are actively test-driving new forms of technology: the students."

All I see and hear is poor grammar, broken thoughts, referenced cyber-bullying, distracted comprehension, copy and paste answers/papers (plagiarism), incoherent street expressions passing for communication, and bluetooth-based cheating on tests and exams.

Students will always adapt technology to their immediate needs - we MUST give them the substance known as education.

Shiny boxes and gimmicks are the empty calories of our system.

I didn't know diddly in 11th grade and still respect those adults who pointed it out.

Thank God they insisted I learn how to learn.

Teacher are wondering wht the Gates money is not for technology--their area of expertise and a sore need in our scdhools- but to "fix" teachers--NOT their area of expertise.

this is not a blog. this is your pretense at some activism. Hope you lose your job this go round. good riddance to a less than honest campaigner and school board member. let's see how long this comment lasts. Oh never mind.. I see you moderate. It will NEVER appear. So much for free speech, lady.
