Good news! Laptops and materials have been delivered to Promethean and MCPS classrooms, and so we’re ready to begin training as well as begin our after school user groups! Do you have to have a Promethean or MCPS system to attend training or the user groups? NO! The hour is laid back, relaxed, and a chance for your peers to share what they have learned, as well as a chance to show you new tricks and neat things. Right now I’ve thought once a month, but the Olive Branch teachers, for example, have asked for more than once a month. It’s all for you! Let me know what you want to do! I’ll touch base with you this week and next (22nd and 29th of Sept.) to finalize dates. What do you think about PTA nights? Let me know…
Promethean/MCPS User Groups–All Welcome!

I know we haven’t gotten started yet but, I agree we should meet more than once a month. There is so much to share!

Olive Branch has voted for Tuesday nights; John Tyler is voting for Thursday nights. Interest level is high; this will be fun! OB: let’s meet in Sandy’s room; JT: let’s meet in Mary’s room. BYOS and BYOF (Bring your own soda and food).

Love the idea of sharing. We get the best ideas from eachother!!
Thursdays are perfect since our minds have already reserved that day for staff meetings.

let’s make sure that we don’t over book on Thursday with staff meetings.
I was reviewing points from the beginner and intermediate level classes I took last year and have been working on math charts that I am excited to share.
I look forward to the first meeting.

I will plan to stay on Tuesday, Sept. 30th, even though I will be out on Monday, Sept. 29th. Hopefully, I won’t be too behind with my stuff after a day off.
