Bell+Gallagher

Bell Gallagher is the Technology Coordinator at Holy Cross Parish School in Mt. Airy, even though Scott Jackson insists she teaches at Holy Child!

She is intrigued by all the social networking possibilities that the net brings, and is exploring ways they can be used in the classroom.

Besides the Archdiocesan Curriculum and Internet Safety, she is presently interested in exploring low-level gaming with tech club students after school. Part of the goal of this club is to merge our Holy Cross Peace Program with computer games, hoping to discover games without violence, inappropriate images, themes, and dialogue, that will stretch our cognitive skills. Another part of the goal is to have kids working in partners rather than just playing alone, which is how many kids spend their afternoons and evenings after school. We'll start with "Sim City" so that the Mayor of Philadelphia in the near future just may come from Holy Cross!
