Ross Alley Mural Neighborhood Narratives We are guests in this neighborhood and community of Chinatown, and we d like to learn more about the people who live here. Most of our students are American born, but many of the residents of Chinatown are immigrants and have led lives in another world. We want to learn the stories of their lives - what were those other worlds, where are they from, and how did they arrive to where they are today?

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important. Bill Gates Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event. Heidi-Hayes Jacobs 42
