March 28 to 4/1

Monday, March 28

Started today at Gardner Park. I helped a few of the 1st grade teachers with SMART board issues. They continue to be enthusiastic about using the boards even though they haven't had formal training. This is a good thing.

Later I helped Mrs. Torres set up her rolling SMART board. She is having some graphics problems switching between screens and her ESL department laptop does not have the video drivers it needs to change these settings.

After lunch I went to Grier, where I worked with Ms. Sanders on setting up her SMART board and document camera in a little more efficient manner.

After that it was back to Gardner Park where I prepped for my SMART lessons.
