ROOM
ARRANGEMENT
Each table in the room
has a computer situated at it's end.
Students have access to their
network files and the Internet at all times. This arrangement allows
for a 1:4 ratio of computers to students. Group work and individual work
is expected.
WHERE DID THE TECHNOLOGY COME FROM?I was lucky
enough to win a Gate's Grant last spring and have been able to equip the
room with 8 PCs, an awesome Hitachi projector, a
printer and Microsoft's Office Suite software. As part of the grant, teachers are expected to attend a technology boot camp
for five days during the summer and three Friday, Saturday meetings during
the fall/winter/spring. The training has been intense and quite
valuable. Many of the lessons I teach are in the form of a PowerPoint®
with current internet content incorporated. Excel® is also used in
my science class to display data, and create charts and
graphs. I have created this website using Microsoft FrontPage®
which was another program included in the software bundle.
