Educator App of the Week

Sway |
brought to you by Instructional
Technology Workshops
|
The purpose of Sway is to convey concepts quickly, easily and clearly. Unlike PowerPoint, it is primarily for presenting ideas onscreen rather than to an audience. Tutorials, topic introductions and interactive reports are the sort of things to which it lends
itself. Sway presentations are backed up to the cloud, and can be easily shared or embedded in websites.

Is
it the end of the line for the ghost track kids? |
by RICHARD
MARINI - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 10/25
|
Ellen Riojas Clark also doubts any work on the crossing will stop ghost hunters from looking for the spirits
of pushy schoolchildren. “As long as people have had that experience or the memory of the experience, it’ll remain as an active legend,” said Clark, a folklore expert and professor emerita with the University of Texas at San Antonio’s bicultural bilingual
studies division. “Once those experiences or memories are gone, it’ll probably fade.”
