Big Day!

Sorry for having nothing more interesting than our hungry zebra bowl to commemorate it! Today we (me, Norton, and ADT Security) got the go-ahead from their parent company to launch our pilot project "ADT Teach," which in many ways has been my baby since arriving here in June. After five months of drafting proposals, researching curricula, and writing convincing emails, SAEP and ADT are going to provide computer education for 180 learners in four of our high schools over the course of the 2009 school year, using a fully stocked "mobile lab" full of new computers and software. These are learners who for the most part would never see a computer otherwise, so having seen this thing through from the beginning brings with it great feelings of excitement and satisfaction (not to mention a lot of bread, since we were able to lock in a sizable monthly fee to support SAEP's other programs)
