Comments(0) | Well, we have had a chance to have a Users Group meeting at each of my schools now. It was great to share some things that teachers are using and hear how well they work. I was a little disappointed and the number of people who could make it to each one, but I understand we all have a million and one things on our plates. I am hoping that maybe more of you can make it the next time. I will send out an email to let you know when the next meeting will take place. I plan on continuig to use the PTA night uless I hear from you that it doesn’t work well for you. Feel free to leave feedback here for all of us to see.
Comments(0) | I am in the process of trying to organize a MCPS & Promethean User Group, at each of my schools, to share ideas, best practices, tips, and tricks. I am finding it difficult to find enough days in the week to do it all and still do it right. I would love to be able to do this in an online manner, but unfortunately we were told it has to be done in a face to face manner. I would love to hear your input!

5 new LUMENS document cameras have been added to the inventory at Westhaven Elementary school, and 6 new LUMENS document cameras have been added to the inventory at Churchland Elementary. They will be processed and then ready for teacher checkout. If you are unsure of how to use them, please see your TRT for a “how-to” inservice. They are great classroom tools.
Comments(0) | Teachers… now is the time to apply for an MCPS or Promethean room for next year. Please follow the directions carefully and print a hard copy to write up your rough draft application. Next, allow both the Principal and myself to look over it before you submit it online. The deadline is May 15th and I am not in the building full time so please don’t wait until the last minute. It is NOT a first come first serve process so don’t panic and submit before you have met with us. Good luck!
Comments(0) | If you haven’t taken a moment and checked out the Resource Sites Tab, now might be a good time to do so. I just added several new resource sites under most of the categories.

Comments(0) | Due to the results from the Needs Assessment, I will be offering training to the teachers on various topics during the second semester. It will all be done as a hands on, don’t be afraid to ask approach, targeting the equipment and software needs brought to light by the Needs Assessment. I will send out emails to inform and remind the teachers of what will be offered, when it will be offered, and where we will meet. I am looking forward to the challenge of meeting your needs.
