Students Distinguish Themselves in Classroom--

Honored at MWHS Breakfasts

[Distinguished]    

TILT is a new tool in the Westonka School District. TILT (Technology Integration Learning Team) is comprised of 13 teachers representing each school in the district. The goals of the group, which is led by Technology Integrationist Sue Simonson, are to integrate technology programs that personalize learning and to embed 21st century skills in the Westonka curriculum.

Westonka senior Shawna Heilman decided to move to Africa, Kenya to be exact, when she was just a middle-school aged student. She says it was a "calling," but admitted that she didn't know much about Africa at all. During her freshman year at MWHS, she listened to some speakers from Africa and cried - deciding right then, that was where she wanted to go.
