Friday, Sept. 5

East Lincoln Day.

I started out at Rock Springs. I worked with the media specialist Rebeka Stanton to get her second lab up and running. We discussed the best way to conduct instruction. One option we considered is to move the Smart Board to the small lab where there is a carpeted seating area. Teachers could sign up for this and bring their classes in. We also discussed trainings on web mail and photostory. Rock Springs is also in desperate need of wireless in the mobile units. I also set up an appointment to work with a teacher on a grant next Friday.

Next was Catawba Springs. I spoke with Kristi Smith about several issues.
- The Promethean board installation is mostly done. We discussed moving a newer computer into the room to use with the board. The doc cam will hook up via S-video. They will contact me when the final install is done so we can arrange training.
- She will be hiring a new media specialist soon and I will assist her in settling in tech-wise.
- I'm going to do an assessment of all comps in teacher rooms to see how fit they are for the instuctional uses teachers want to put them to. I will start this on Monday. This would be a good idea at all schools

At St. James I talked with Larry Shouse about plans for the year. He would like me to do workshops on their two bluetooth tables and star panels to get them in use. We also decided to look at a workshop on memio since he already has one.

I also met with Cynthia Jarvis, the new media specialist. We discussed a lot of orientation-type ideas. She is very interested in learning video production. I will come by next week and show her LanSchool
