BACK TO NORMAL TEMPERATURES, IT SHOULD BE MUCH WARMER RIGHT NOW. Ruth: THANKS, CHUCK. EDUCATION NATION IS COMING TO DETROIT. AND LOCAL 4 IS TEAMING UP WITH NBC NEWS TO SPOTLIGHT EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. Devin: TODAY, LOCAL 4 STARTED THE EDUCATION NATION TOUR BOSS TO GROSSE POINTE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL WHERE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF BOOKS WERE DROPPED OFF BY STUDENTS. THE GOAL TO STUFF THE BUS WITH NEW OR JUST GENTLY USED BOOKS THAT WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE UNITED WAY NEXT WEEK. Ruth: AND LOOKING LIVE AT THE EDUCATION NATION BUS, IT'S PARKED TONIGHT BUT WILL BE OUT TOMORROW IN WARREN. AND OUR RHONDA WALKER CAUGHT UP WITH ONE TEACHER WHO WAS GETTING CREATIVE WITH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM. Rhonda: OUR TOUR TOOK US ALL OVER GROSSE POINTE SCHOOLS FROM HERE AT GROSSE POINTE NORTH TO GROSSE POINTE PARK'S TROMBLEY ELEMENTARY A FOURTH GREAT TEACHER IS PREPARING HER STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE. THEY'RE HOLDING A DEBRIEFING FOR A MYSTERY SKYPE WITH ANOTHER FOURTH GRADE CLASS IN LAKELAND, FLORIDA. BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT. THE STUDENTS HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE OTHER CLASS IS SKYPING FROM. I LIKE THAT, WHEN WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THEY WERE, SO WE COULD SHOW OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SKILLS. IT'S COOL THAT THEY'RE IN ANOTHER STATE AND WE'RE SKYPING TH THEM. FLORIDA! [CHEERING] TRY TO APPROACH IT MORE AS THE GUIDE ON THE SIDE, FACILITATING AND LETTING THEM WORK TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER. Rhonda: THEY'RE NOT JUST LEARNING TO USE TECHNOLOGY BUT HOW TO SELF-MANAGE AND WORK TOGETHER. THAT'S HOW LIFE IS. SMART PEOPLE KNOW WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP AND ASK EACH OTHER FOR HELP. Rhonda: SHE USED GRANT MONEY TO GET HER CLASS NET BOOKS. IT'S A PILOT PROJECT FOR HOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY AS ANOTHER WAY TO COMMUNICATE AND LEARN. TECHNOLOGY IN OUR WORLD IN GENERAL ARE CHANGING SO FAST NOW, AND WE PUT -- IT PUTS PRESSURE ON US AND WE HAVE TO BE RELEVANT AND GET THE KIDS READY FOR WHAT IS WAITING WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH US. I FIND MYSELF GOING TO WORKSHOPS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO KEEP ON GROWING, OTHERWISE YOU DON'T KEEP LEADING IF YOU STAY STAGNANT. Rhonda: DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO HIM NIMBLE SAID TO THE PORCUPINE. Rhonda: BUT THEY STILL ENJOY GOOD OL' FASHIONED STORY TIME. RHONDA WALKER, LOCAL 4.

WRIGHT MUSEUM MUSEUM AT 9 A.M. AND I'LL BE THERE ALONG WITH RHONDA WALKER. AND CHELSEA CLINTON WILL BE THERE. IT'S AN EDUCATION NATION SPECIAL WE'RE CALLING JOB 1.
