Look What’s New In the Library!

The IT department has furnished new books and equipment to help you with technology integrated projects.  We have 3 new books, 2 new digital cameras, and 2 new video cameras!!

I’m really excited about the books as they are some of the easiest books to help folks get started with technology integration.  Each comes with a CD that has templates to make the doing activities in the book even easier.

The first book is on using Kid Pix – which is a great tool that we don’t use very much…

• Here is some additional information on the book: Book Description
• Here is an example activity from the book:Kid Pix 4 sample

The other books are from the Tammy Worcester Quick and Easy Series – one on PowerPoint and one on Math:

• Here is a description of the PowerPoint book: 50 Quick Powerpoint description
• Here is an example of one of the student tutorials: 50 Quick Powerpoint sample tutorial

For additional ideas on technology integration using these programs, check out these sites:
