The Albertville Elementary School Technology Team competed at our regional competition on Friday, April 8th at the Agri-Business Center in Rainsville.  Northeast Alabama Community College did a fabulous job of sponsoring this event.  Hundreds of students from our NorthEast Alabama Region competed in various categories:  General Applications, MultiMedia, Website Design, Video Production, and Computer Programming.

Each of the AES kids presented their projects very well!  All were professional, polite, and confident in their presentations.  All of the projects are winners to me!  Everyone worked diligently with their research, organization, and creatively produced a high quality project!  YEA for AES TECH TEAM!

Regional Technology Competition was a SUCCESS!

On March 13th the AES Technology Team competed in the Regional Technology Competition held at North Alabama Community College in Rainsville.  The photo above is of most of the members of the team.  Students have worked diligently for months doing research, taking notes, and organizing their information into Keynote presentations, Video Productions, brochures, Prezis, websites, and Scratch computer programming projects.  Students compiled a notebook of required information sharing the steps in the process.  Judges interviewed students and learned about their research and how they created each of these projects.

I was so proud of EVERY STUDENT that day!  Each had a high quality project and each student shook hands, made eye contact, and talked to adults in such a professional manner.  It was a great day for all of us!   Thanks to NACC for hosting such a well organized event!
