Welcome to the Captain's Blog!

Hello and welcome to the Captain's Blog.  As the principal of MAST Academy, I am trying out new technologies and searching out ways in which we can use them to help students learn and achieve more.  This is my first attempt at blogging.  I have learned how to post, link, and now even send pictures from my iPhone.  The possibilities seem endless and I am excited to see where we will go!  Here's to smooth sailing!
