There is always lots of information to share at this time of year. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to stop by the lab!
If you'd like to follow this blog please fill in your email address in the "Follow by Email" widget along the left side of the blog. It looks like this:
Hallway Lab - I was surprised to find this week a few computers in the hallway lab whose headphone jacks are not working! My apologies for the mistake. I thought these machines had been replaced. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I am not sure if they will be. I'll keep you posted and will continue to mark the computers where the sound is not working :(
Please remind your students to bring their headphones to the hallway lab. They should carefully be plugging and unplugging their headphones into the headphone cable attached to each computer. Also please clean up the lab after you leave. Jaclyn has volunteered her class to do an end of the day clean up. She made it a classroom job. Thank you Jaclyn!
MassCue Technology Conference - The annual technology conference is happening on October 22nd (Wednesday) and 23rd (Thursday). MassCue is an amazing opportunity to connect and learn from colleagues around New England. For several years, we have been able to send a team of teachers. This year we are able to send 4 or 5 teachers. If you are interested, please send me an email with the date you'd like to attend. In order to take advantage of the group rate, I will organize the registration. Please do not register on your own.
If you are still interested in signing-up for a permanent weekly lab time outside of computer class and/or skills class, please come to the lab to sign-up. I'd like to finalize the calendar this week.
Technology Committee - I am still looking for a few grade level representatives for the HH Technology Committee. Specifically, I am looking for representatives for Grades 1, 4, 5, TA, SPED and a specialist. If you'd like to join us, please sign up on the HH Committee Sign-up google doc. We meet once a month in the computer lab.
WPSF Grants - Just a reminder - If you are interested in writing a WPSF grant this year that includes technology, please let me know. As part of the new grant writing process, an Instructional Technology Specialist must be a co-applicant on the grant. Love that the deadline is now October 10, 2014.
