As part of Connected Educator Month, VSTE is making virtual classroom visits to talk with students across the Commonwealth.

On Thursday, October 20, 2016, we visited with students from Roanoke County Public Schools. A big thank you to Meg Swecker, Coordinator of Technology Integration, for organizing the day, thanks to ITRT Tina Coffey, teachers Sherri Rickman and Cynthia Bowen, and BIG thanks to the students for sharing their ideas and experiences with us.

As educators, we spend lots of time talking about students but not much time talking to them. VSTE is working to change that by providing virtual visits to classrooms across the Commonwealth. Our "classroom snacks" will take place on Thursdays throughout October.

We'll continue the series  with four groups of students from Roanoke County on Thursday, October 20, 2016:
