Enthusiasm at Lowell

This morning I went to Lowell and worked with Ms. Medlock, who I set up G-compris a week or so ago. I worked out a problem she was having with Scholastic's BookFlix. She just needed a little help zooming in on the video to make it full screen. She and her students are also enjoying gcompris, with a little confusion due to the French origin of the program.

Most importantly, she was happy to learn that she could call on me any time for tech integration advice and help. I don't think she realized that I am here to directly help teachers.

I also talked to the sysop and tech at Lowell to try and resolve the Kidpix problems. We have at least tracked down the licensing info.

Later at Gardner Park, I helped teachers with display issues and set up a meeting with a teacher who wants to integrate a SMART/Google Earth lesson on Christmas around the world. That should be fun.

I also resolved some scheduling issues with SMART training at McAdenville. We're going to make one big training for everyone that I can then manage as individual teachers take the sections.
