November/December 2014
November was exciting month for the Media Center being that we rolled out our laptops for teacher classroom usage! Not only did we start off with one cart of 30 laptops; we gained an additional 45 laptops! This was a huge success with pushing classroom technology. Ms. Moore and Mrs. Ullah were able to work with Mrs. Barnes-Parkins leadership class to work on a video Teacher/Staff Appreciation video that was a success using WeVideo (highlighted below).
We finished up December with a Faculty and Staff Hallway Challenge! We also finished up with applying for the Media Center Makeover (Belk Bowl Competition) below:
