Educating The ‘Net Generation’ Richland One is helping students become new millennium learners By Debra A. Brathwaite, Ph.D. Typewriters and Wite-Out®, eight-track players and casse e recorders, and having to ask a gas staon a endant for direc ons instead of being guided to your des na on by a GPS device are relics of the past. Our students do not know that world. Our students are members of the “Net Genera on.” They carry the Internet around in their pockets and are agile at using a myriad of devices. They are indeed creators of the future. Our students live in a me where the world no longer cares how much they know but what they do with what they know. Our students live in a culture of innova on. They must learn to work collabora vely, be able to solve complex problems, be unafraid of trial and error, and change their focus from consuming to crea ng. The challenge for Richland One is how to educate our students to keep pace with the growing demands, changing landscape and global compeveness of the 21st century. We do that by believing that what our students have learned to do is more essen al than what they are born with. We also encourage curiosity so that students get in the habit of asking good ques ons and crea ng a desire to understand informa on more deeply. Fostering collabora on, which begins with listening to and learning from others, is cri cal as well. Con nued on page 2

Cover Story Educa ng The ‘Net Genera on’ (Con nued) In Richland One we have taken several steps to help our students experience success in this new millennium. All classrooms are ou itted with technology devices that range from SMART Boards, desktop computers and laptops to iPads, iPods and Android devices. Teachers receive professional development to ensure that they understand that the priority is not the use of the device alone but how that device enhances teaching and learning in the classroom. There are wireless Internet access points at all schools and administra ve buildings. We also offer students courses through our videoconferencing capability. Policies are in place to ensure that students are not exposed to inappropriate content on the Internet. As we assist our students in becoming new millennium learners, Richland One is commi ng resources to set up a “new millennium classroom” at every school. The pupose of this ini a ve is to determine which devices are most appropriate for the instruc onal needs of our students and teachers. This ini a ve also will provide us with useful informa on about how new technologies can enhance the delivery of the Common Core State Standards which call for more rigor, inquiry-based learning and the ability to read and understand informa onal text. We know that the average student can use a computer to do homework, online cha ng, checking e-mail and surfing the Net. What our students need to know to be college- and career-ready goes beyond these fundamental skills. Our students need to know how to create a web page, set up wireless networks, troubleshoot and move between pla orms. As we develop our students to become new millennium learners in Richland One, we are ensuring that the technology we use is relevant and interac ve in the classroom. Technology cannot be used just for the sake of using it. Students need a prac cal use for technology that will enable them to demonstrate their learning beyond a specific topic under study. Finally, and most importantly, through the use of technology we are teaching our students to be unafraid to try new things, to explore the world and to face the unexpected. These are the traits of the new millennium learner.
In Memoriam: School Commissioner
Barbara A. Scott
Mrs. Barbara A. Scott, a member of the Richland One Board of School Commissioners, passed away on March 5, 2013. Mrs. Scott was first elected to the Board of School Commissioners in 1974 and she served for eight years, including three years as board chairwoman. In 1984 she won election as Richland County Clerk of Court. In 2008, after 24 years as Clerk of Court, Mrs. Scott successfully ran for election to an at-large seat on the Board of School Commissioners. She was reelected to serve another four-year term in November 2012. “Mrs. Scott’s presence on the Board and her commitment to ensuring that all Richland One students receive a high-quality education will be greatly missed,” said Board Chairman Jamie L. Devine.

Student Achievements
Students to compete for ‘Best Singer in the District’ Just like singers on the popular TV shows American Idol and The Voice, 24 Richland One students will sing their hearts out on April 12 as they compete in the finale of Richland One’s “Best Singer in the District” competition. The curtain rises at 6:00 p.m. in the Eau Claire High School Theatre at 4800 Monticello Road. Admission to the grand finale is $10 per person. After two days of auditions in February, these 24 students emerged to advance to sing in the finale. The prize package for the grand prize winner includes $500 cash, a trophy and a six-month full scholarship to study voice. In addition to the grand prize, awards will be given to the three division winners (elementary, middle and high school) and to the best genre singers. Nancy Pope, the district’s coordinator of visual and perfoming arts, reminds contestants that all judges’ decisions at the finale event will be final. “‘Best Singer in the District’ is an all-out effort to bring excitement and attention to Richland One’s outstanding vocal music programs in our schools,” Pope said. “It also will teach the important lesson that a lot of planning and collaborative effort goes on behind the scenes, and that it takes hard work to step out on that stage, take that risk and follow one’s dreams.” The 24 finalists (eight elementary school students, eight middle school
students and eight high school students) were chosen by a panel of nondistrict, professionally trained judges. The district extends its congratulations not only to the finalists but to everyone who auditioned. The “Best Singer in the District” competition is sponsored Logan Elementary School students Amber Burton, Nia Burton, by Richland One’s Reginald P.

and chemistry, get her Master’s degree and Ph.D. and become a college professor. She advises other students to study hard, manage their me, get enough sleep and have some fun. “Take the good and posi ve things in a situa on and learn from it.

Keenan, LR girls basketball teams win state championships These girls are on fire! Two Richland One girls basketball teams left the Colonial Life Arena on March 2 with big trophies, state championship titles and lots of school pride. Keenan High School’s Lady Raiders, under the leadership of Coach Reggie McLain, outscored defending champion Bishop England 46-41 to clinch the 2013 Class 2A state championship. It was Keenan’s first girls basketball state championship win since 2008. “I’m very proud of this team for their hard work over the summer and regular season to make it to a state championship and win,” said Coach McLain. “The seniors did a great job as leaders to help us win our second state title.” Lower Richland High School’s Lady Diamond Hornets defeated Orangeburg-Wilkinson 57-35 to take home the 2013 Class 3A state championship title. The win marked Coach Debbie Stroman’s seventh state championship. She praised the excellent teamwork and individual efforts that allowed the Lady Diamond Hornets to have an undefeated 26-0 season this year. “Winning the seventh state championship with this talented, young and enthusiastic squad is a dream come true,” said Coach Stroman. “Through all of the hard work, sweat and even tears, we were able to top all competitors. This is a fabulous group of talented players that came together. Before the season even started, they wanted to get that championship ring, and they met that goal.” With the win, Coach Stroman has more state titles than S.C. Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame coach Fred Senter (six) who coached at Mullins High School and as many as women’s’ basketball coach Mac Quattlebaum, who won seven state titles with Hollywood High in Saluda County between 1948 and 1959. Richland One congratulates the Keenan Lady Raiders, the Lower Richland Diamond Hornet and all of the teams that made this year’s state basketball playoffs.
