Friday Sessions

Session 2   (Friday 1:00pm-2:00pm)

The Folsom Prison Blues Remix: Using Canvas to Unlock Potential Behind Bars
Panel or Facilitated discussion (60 minutes)
Rachel Kralyevich (w/ Shannon Woods-Principal of Greystone Adult School)
I hear that whistle blowin' down the cellblock line. Greystone's got a mission, got a master plan in mind. Smart Boards on the walls and laptops in the room. CANVAS is the answer, gonna chase away the gloom. Technology's the pathway to a better life ahead. Education's the foundation, that's what all the teachers said. That online education, it's a lifeline in the night. Smart Boards and the laptops shinin' bright. We adjust, we adapt, we find another way. CANVAS behind the walls is here to stay.
