GSRP Intake Appointments
Apple TV's Installed at GSRP during Spring Break
There are a few minor things that still need to be taken care of to complete the Apple TV installations:
Room 1- Mr. Lesko still needs to work on a cabling problem.
Room 3- Will need a longer HDMI cable and one will be delivered very soon.
For the classrooms with ceiling projectors, the Apple TV's had to be located on the teacher's desk or another cabinet near the AV plugs at the wall. For the wall mounts, the units are right on top of the projector. More instruction will come on how to use the units. I use the Apple TV to mirror my ipad at the Cardinal's Nest and it is very useful for showing many apps whole group in the preschool room. Our preschool appropriate Ipad cases are also scheduled to be delivered this week. I know that you all have been anxiously awaiting our cart for the ipads. The cart has been delivered and the tech department is working towards getting it ready for us. I am just as excited as you are to get these in the hands of our students. Thanks for your patience! And a special thanks to the tech department for the work behind the scenes.
