The new "Bits and Bytes" logo at left
is comprised of the apple outline which represents the educational focus of this
newsletter. Obviously, the two "B"s represent "Bits and Bytes".
However, I purposely chose to mirror or reflect these two initials because I hope this
newsletter presents information from a variety of perspectives that cause readers to
reflect and think. The compass points at the centre started out as a plus sign
representing the "and" in "Bits and Bytes".
However, I felt the symbolism of the compass to be quite appropriate as we all
attempt to navigate through the technological changes that are being introduced
into our classrooms and administrative offices. Additionally the four arrows
remind me that the primary purpose
of this newsletter is to facilitate and foster the sharing of ideas, resources and
information in all directions. With this issue marking the start of my sixteenth year as
editor of "Bits and Bytes", I trust that with your continued support and
willingness to share, we will continue to progress as reflected by the symbolism of this
new logo.
