Today's word on journalism

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Grammatically Speaking:

"We owe much to our mother tongue. It is through speech and writing that we understand each other and can attend to our needs and differences. If we don't respect and honor the rules of English, we lose our ability to communicate clearly and well. In short, we invite mayhem, misery, madness, and inevitably even more bad things that start with letters other than M."

--Martha Brockenbrough, grammarian and founder, National Grammar Day

North Logan building expands Cache school district's resources

By Bethany Crane

February 29, 2009 | NORTH LOGAN -- The building is new, the staff is excellent, but what exactly does the Cache Professional Development and Technology Center do? In an effort to expand the offices and resources available to district employees, the new building was constructed and a variety of new programs have been made available.

"It's a great work environment." said Bryce Greenhalgh, an information specialist for the center.

Greenhalgh is developing and reviewing new online software to become available to teachers in the district and providing technical support for the glitches that come along in the system. He is one of many who have been moved to the new building, which was originally meant to be an extension of the city offices of North Logan.

"In the old building everyone was huddled in one office." said Greenhalgh. This center has multiple board rooms for school district meetings and offices to free up the space in the other buildings.

Judy Gibbons an IS support/training department head who has worked for the School District for many years said, "It's a great place to work."

There must have been improvements for that seems to be the general consensus. New technology classes have been made available to staff members for the district to better assist them with their computer needs. This is just one of the many ways that programs have been made to make the School District more effective and communication widespread. The building is solely for district use and the rooms are used for everything from video conferencing to professional development.

The building was completed in 2007 but the effective use has just begun and it promises to be a great step forward for the school district.
