Tech Training

Throughout the day today, our tech teacher specialist was doing training with our year one cohort of teachers who have recieved the laptop/smartboard/projector set ups in their classrooms. This training would be at least the second, if not the third training opportunity afforded them since the start of the school year. By now, we are seeing more and more consistent use of technology on a regular basis in these classrooms, too. More important, we are seeing more and more student interaction with the technology. A parent recently asked what exactly is a smart board, because that is all her child talks about when they get home from school! This parent remarked that when she was in school, the smart board was a paddle used to make kids 'smarter' about their choices! Interesting evolution of terms!
