Making friends is paying offfor Lawrence Township. Thetownship, along with nearbyMontgomery, Hillsborough andPrinceton, was recently awardeda grant to create a Green Map ofthe region.

A collaborative effort amongthe municipalities, the goal increating the Green Map is tomake a web-based product that allresidents can access, said Sus-tainable Lawrences Executive Di-rector Tahirih Smith.

The municipalities will receiveone year of free consultation tohelp create the map.

Once completed, the newly de-vised map will give details abouttrails, open space, bike paths,public transportation, historicalsites, local businesses, organiza-tions that promote greenlifestyles, farmers markets and so

on, connecting each of the fourmunicipalities.

Councilwoman Pam Mount,who also sits on the Mayors Com-mittee for a Green Future, whichhelped launch Sustainable Jerseyin 2009, said the towns likely re-ceived the one-year grant due to

their unique collaboration. Thegrant came from Sustainable Jer-sey, a certification program in thestate for municipalities that wantto go green.

Individual towns are currentlydiscussing what type of thingsthey would like to see on theGreen Map, Mount said.

Mount said different groups intown, such as the Shade TreeCommittee, the Open Space Com-mittee, the Green Team, and resi-dents involved with bike andpedestrian issues and historicalpreservation, have already start-ed talking about the future of themap.

Towns will each have internaldiscussions and then collabo-rate, Mount said.

Smith said members of Sus-tainable Lawrence, the non-profit,community-based group thatformed in 2006, are excited to getthe dialogue started in town andamong the others involved in the

map.Were very excited to work

with the schools and community. We hope for an interactive,web-based product where peoplecan upload pictures, print out a

Hundreds of sixth- througheighth-grade students returned tothe intermediate and middleschools earlier this month, set-ting in motion the familiar sceneof students boarding school busesalong with their backpacks over-flowing with books.

But one thing is different this

fall.Along with those books, youll

also find a laptopone for everysingle student.

The 1:1 computer initiative,which actually began last year forthe sixth-grade students, has nowexpanded to include all three

grades in the two schools, saidAndrew Zuckerman, now the for-mer principal at Lawrence Mid-dle School.

Just last week, after he was in-terviewed for this article, he wastapped to be the new director ofInstructional Services for the dis-trict.

The 300-some students whofirst received a netbook last year,thanks to the $1.4 million Tal-

dents (would be on the samelevel). So were actually ahead ofwhere the grant expected us tobe, Zuckerman said. The objec-

tive of the grant is to have the stu-dents become technologically lit-erate by the time they completeeighth grade.

Zuckerman pointed out thatthe grant has a sustainabilitycomponent to it and the effects ofthe initiative will be long lasting.To be self-sustaining, the districtwill develop its own in-housetechnology experts to train otherteachers and keep the initiativegoing.

With technology growing soquickly and changing so rapidly,we constantly need to reinventourselves to stay on top ofthings, Zuckerman said.

He added that, with the grant

money, the district also outfittedthe sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade rooms with SMARTBoards.

The 1:1 program will enhancelearning within the classroom. Itwill also be used to further com-munication between home andschool.

If students are working on aproject in school, they have com-plete access to that informationwhen they are at home.

It also gives them easier access

to online resources to communi-cate with their teacher regardingspecial projects and assignments.They can also use Web 2.0 tools,many of which are free resourcesthat students can use that are not

just for special projects but also tohelp enhance their Internetskills.

Zuckerman said that 25 per-

cent of the grant had to be usedfor professional development.Teachers have received special-ized training to learn strategiesthey can implement in the class-room to help their students be-come technologically literate.

Training included how to useGoogle applications and set upgroups to distribute informationfor students to review at home.Students, on the other hand, arelearning to use tools such as Pow-erPoint, Excel or even blogs fortheir projects.

The model were currentlygoing over with the staff is calledflipping the classroom, Zucker-man said. Traditionally, stu-

dents learn (in the classroom)and apply at home. The flippingthe classroom has the studentslearn the initial introduction tothe concept at home throughvideos or tutorials, come in with abasic understanding, and hit theground running and apply it withthe teacher so the teacher canhelp during the difficult times.

In the traditional setup, Zuck-erman explained that it can bemuch harder for a student toapply new knowledge or a new

skill at home without properguidance.

This is exciting, the technolo-gy and the ways the teachers useit, Zuckerman said. I think (theimpact) is going to be huge.Theyre not only learning to usethese on a regular basis, were not

only teaching them to survive inthe 21st century world, but werealso trying to teach them theskills to do this successfully sothe digital footprint theyre leav-ing doesnt come back to hauntthem when they apply for collegeor a job in the future.

H

urricane Irene put a hurting

on Atlantic City casino rev-

enues last month. That is un-fortunate, but not unexpected. Losing

three days of revenue would hurt any

business.

But, for once, the news isnt all bad

when it comes to gambling on the

Shore. After Irene blew away, John

Palmieri blew into town. Hes the guy

Gov. Christie has appointed to fix what

ails the AC casinos. Good luck, Mr.

Palmieri.

Initially, it appears Palmieri has the

chops to get something done. In reality,

theres really not a lot he can do tohurt the situation. The AC casinos

have been battered by a lot more than

wind and rain in recent years. Lack of

a creative, unified marketing plan,

competition from surrounding states

and a host of other issues have left the

AC market bruised.

Palmieri reportedly brings a history

of development success in other cities.

He no doubt will be hard-pressed to

duplicate that success in AC unless

all of the players finally have received

the message that its time to work to-gether.

Here at Elauwit Media, Associate

Editor Melissa DiPento is working on

a comprehensive look at AC casinos,how they got into the mess theyre in,

and how they might be able to get out

of it. To reach her with comments and

ideas, send an e-mail to

[email protected] .

Atlantic City casinos have fallen be-

hind and face increased competition

in the future. But they also have a lot

of potential.

Heres hoping Palmieri can work a

little magic and turn Atlantic City into

a gaming destination that draws visi-

tors from around the globe. It wont beeasy, though.

It was Sept. 1 and time for all10-month Lawrence TownshipPublic Schools staff to join their12-month colleagues and headback to school.

This opening day was filledwith the usual excitement and an-ticipation of a new year; however,it was different than those of thepast six years as staff members

were not addressed by Superin-tendent Phil Meara.

His retirement, announced atthe end of June, was effectiveSept. 1.

Having served as the LTPS as-sistant superintendent since 2005,Crystal Lovell now takes the dis-tricts helm and welcomed the al-most 700-member LTPS staff tothe 2011-2012 school year.

The Board of Educationworked with the New JerseySchool Boards Association to con-duct a regional superintendentsearch and appointed Lovell asthe LTPS superintendent at itsAug. 8 meeting.

Lovell holds an Ed.D. in educa-

tional leadership, managementand policy from Seton Hall Uni-versity, with a dissertation focuson Title I-funded extended dayprograms, an MS in chemistryfrom Rutgers University, and a BSin secondary education fromPenn State.

As assistant superintendent,Lovell oversaw areas of curricu-lum, instruction, assessment,grants, federal programs, extend-ed-day programs and professionaldevelopment.

Some of her prominent en-deavors include the High SchoolCareer Academies, the Talent21mobile device 1:1 initiative, theNWEA assessment system, cur-

riculum alignment with the newstandards and the robotics pro-grams.

Lovells education career spans25 years, the first five of whichwere teaching biology in East Or-ange.

The next nine years foundLovell teaching high school chem-istry, biology, earth science and

laboratory techniques in Hills-borough.

While in Hillsborough, Lovellcontinued participation in sum-mer internships for teachersworking at Union Carbide andHoechst-Celanese. She alsoteamed with Rutgers Universityto act as a facilitating teacher forthe RU-MAPPS program, an ini-tiative designed to attract moreminority students to the field ofbiomedical science.

In 2001, Lovell joined theMetuchen School District as su-pervisor of Math and Science andafter two years, became the direc-tor of Math and Science for theHighland Park School District.

Much of her work at HighlandPark focused on raising the aca-demic performance of at-risk stu-dents.

We are thrilled to announcethat Dr. Crystal Lovell (is) ournew superintendent, said BOEPresident Laura Waters. A thor-ough and efficient search acrossthe region proved what many ofyou already knew: The top candi-date for the job was right here allthe time. Dr. Lovells leadershipskills, curricular knowledge, fis-cal acuity, and passion for educa-tional excellence make her theperfect choice for the LawrenceTownship Public Schools.

I am thankful to have the op-

portunity to be a blessing to thechildren of Lawrence, saidLovell.

Its a great district with a vi-sionary and dynamic board of ed-ucation, dedicated and talentedstaff and administration, won-derful students and families, anda highly-supportive community,

Lovell spends her free time

with her family and friends. Sheenjoys outdoor activities andgoing to amusement parks withher three daughters.
