Badin Room 234 is the companion site for Mr. Gretz's classes at Stephen T. Badin High School.

Efficient use of technology is an essential competency for the 21st-century citizen. In order to survive in today's competitive conditions, the Networked Student must master a varied array of tools and processes.

That's where tech classes come in. My goal is to help you expand your IT tool set, in an energetic and collaborative learning environment. We integrate the skills developed in the IT lab to magnify and enhance the content areas of every other class.

This is the gateway site used for all of my classes, therefor students and parents should bookmark or save this site for regular reference.
