**Session Description**
//Our story depicts the timeline of events in Joplin Schools from the devastation of May 22, 2011 through present day. As our district's high school was completely destroyed by the EF5 tornado, we quickly recognized that the opportune time to fast-forward our 21st Century Learning implementation plan was now. Key components included the decision not to replace textbooks, the issuance of 2,200 laptops as 24/7 learning tools, and a renewed focus on virtual learning. It looks to be a very good year.//
