After seeing Patti Maes from MIT discuss her new “Sixth Sense” device that will project computer images onto blank surfaces, do you think there could be a moral dilemma in its use?

Students,

      Brush off that sand from the beach and get ready for some serious academics with creative twists and turns. Warm up before school starts with basic math facts (multiplication, division) and writing down a few summer memories in your journals. Feel free to explore our website and try out some of the links all ready for you.  I’m looking forward to meeting each of you soon!

Ms. Litt
