Welcome to WMS iSkills



iSkills is a brand new class that has been developed for the 2008-2009 school year. The basis of this class involves critical thinking, problem solving and information literacy. I will combine classroom instruction with technology to assist students in becoming better problem solvers. We will work both individually and collaboratively to develop skills to ask the right questions and think at a higher level.

Notice that several words or phrases are highlighted in green in this post. That means that I have supplied a link to another site that will give you a definition or a resource about that word or phrase. This will help you if you are confused by any vocabulary or want to learn more about a subject.

You will need to check this blog frequently for assignments and updates. You can email me at ekosh@wsd.k12.pa.us if you have any questions or post comments to my posts. I look forward to hearing from parents that check the blog to monitor their child's progress.
