If you have previously visited The Modern Pen, you'll notice some changes in its style and structure. While it is still a blog, a website which publishes individual entries--using categories to help organize them and putting the most recent entries first, the color scheme has changed and a category navigation bar has been added.

New colors--The color scheme has changed to look a bit more professional, make links noticeable yet more subtle, and to allow for easier reading and printing (though this is an online source and need not be printed).

Navigation bar--Along the top row of the website, a series of buttons includes the names of the main categories within the website. These categories also appear at the bottom of the sidebar on the left side of the page. Click either the button or the link at the bottom of the sidebar, and you will see all of the entries for a particular category, but only the entries for that category.



While so far, The Modern Pen has primarily focused on all-things PowerSchool, over time, it will become a central hub for up-to-date professional development information and links on all of the most important topics in School District 21's Professional Learning Community.
