Last year, Oak Hills hosted a Google Leadership Symposium, partnering with Google to bring together district leaders from across the state. This year, we again partnered with Google to bring Expeditions to our Highlander students!
This was a great experience for all of our students and I was excited and grateful I could be a part of it. We also learned that Oak Hills was the first district in the country to bring Expeditions to all buildings in the entire district - something we are very proud of! I'm glad to say that I was able to visit every building during their visit and the student's reactions were awesome! It's powerful and encouraging to see students get so excited about learning!
Below is a write up we completed after our Expeditions visit. Also, I appeared on our Superintendent's weekly podcast (Supt's On) to discuss the Google visit. Click here for the podcast (Expeditions discussed 2:50 - 8:52).
======================================
Over the last few weeks, Oak Hills students visited places like Egypt, London and the Taj Mahal. Some even got to explore under the sea, step on the moon and experience what it’s like to be a news anchor. These experiences and more were made possible by the Google Expeditions Pioneer Program.
All 9 Oak Hills schools hosted Google for a day of learning adventures in January, making Oak Hills one of only a few districts in the country to bring Expeditions to every school in the district! A big thank you to the teachers and administrators that put in work behind the scenes to allow our students this experience. The representatives from Google were very impressed with how flexible, receptive and tech-savvy our teachers and students were. Highlander Strong!
