Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to the first installment of the newest Business Technology Blog at University City HS.  We will be working on some fun and interesting assignments this year, and to start things off, please follow the websites below to find out how you learn!!  I will record your scores and help you to interpret them.  Along with this, check out the reading of the day and find out more about Design Thinking.  We will be using this technique in everything we do in class.  From working on projects to figuring out solutions to the world's problems...ENJOY!!  Later this week I will be running a mini-course in design thinking for everyone in the class.  I hope it energizes you and helps you to do better in all of your classes
