When asked what the Classroom of the Future will look like, what do you imagine? Most of us think about technology first and the impact it has had and will have on our schools. Maybe we see every student with a laptop or an iPad – no pencils, no paper, and no text books. Maybe we see virtual teachers or streamed lectures vs. traditional, in-person, teacher-led lectures of today. Maybe we imagine the software becoming the teacher, gauging the... Read More

Adopting A Flock of Angels from the Salvation Army this Christmas

Every member of the ANF team (all 23 of us) contributed & worked together to shop for 16 children (ages 11 months to 12 years old) and 4 senior... Read More
