Don't Make Me Read the Manual!!!!!

Hello Fellow Staffers!

Today Wednesday, March 18, 2008 we are having a voluntary training on how to use LCD projectors with a computer and as a stand-alone.
The Toshiba projectors we will be using have a built in camera that lets you show on the screen whatever you put under it. This is very helpful when you are trying to point out parts of a textbook or demonstrate a hands-on lesson. You no longer have to ask students to make a circle around you to observe the hands-on lesson.
I hope that everything goes well and that you will enjoy learning a lot about the projectors and in future days you will be able to show other teachers in your grade level how to operate the device.
In essence you will become the presenters/trainers.... Good Luck and have fun!

Use it or Loose it!

I want to start by thanking everyone here at Evergreen Lab (everlab) for doing such a great job this year. Since we opened the lab in December of 2008 we have made great progress. Every class has come ready to learn and they have been improving every session. Most classes have had a chance to do research online in the upper grades and have found some interesting knowledge about medicine, U.S. States, and U.S. presidents.

The lower grades have been improving their reading fluency and comprehension with some fabulous online websites like Starfall.com and BBC Schools Web page. In addition they have been working on their math knowledge on Henry Anker's Test web page and BBC schools Bitesize webpage.

I look forward to teaching and learning with all of our wonderful students and knowledgeable staff.
