Books! Gadgets! Fun!
Welcome back!
1. We can pull books on a particular topic or theme.
2. We can share great books with your students.
3. We can work together on a research project (all subject areas).
4. We can be another set of hands in the Computer Lab or with iPads in your classroom.
5. We can help with individual students and small groups - maybe you have a handful of students who are really curious about something - send them to the Learning Commons and we'll see what we can find out!
6. We can put together a list of links on a particular topic.
7. We can help you learn more about a particular technology tool or app.
The list goes on and on...just let us know what you need! We are here for you!
Happy New Year!

iPads
As you know, we are getting more student iPads! We are not sure when they will be ready to roll out, but we are going to get them out to you as soon as we can! There are some new procedures this year for using the iPads. It will be a learning year for all of us! Thank you for your patience!
Brenda Burkett will need to do a brief overview with you and your students about iPad use along with some useful "tips and tricks" that will be helpful to you and your students. We will send out an email when we are ready to schedule your classes.
