Getting it Done...and Learning Smartboard.

Since the date of the last post I have completed numerous assignments which brings me down to about 45 that I have yet to complete. Mike is right, somehow the work always seems to get done.

This week Prof. Mislevy taught the class (for those who were not as familiar) about the Smart Board and Smart products, etc. This technology is particularly helpful in preparing lessons and allow the students to use technology. I was also under the assumption that the local school district did not have access to this technology when lo and behold my daughter tells me that many of her teachers have the technology and equipment, but that it is still sitting in boxes in the back of the classroom. The one that is installed in the classroom is never even used by her teacher!!!!! What in the heck is wrong with this picture?

  1. Don't worry, you will get all of it done! :)

    That's terrible that it isn't utilized in the classroom or that it is sitting in boxes! The principal or IT Dept. in the school district should really use an in-service day to train teachers on them if they are not being used! Smartboards, in my opinon,are very easy to use and navigate! That is a real shame. If I had access to one, I would use it daily.
