I've been contemplating how to get a little more energy in the library...well...the macs and iTouches have done the job. Starting at about 7:20 every morning, students arrive and begin the morning exploration on the computers. At 8:00 we have to push them out to class. It's a good problem. Wish I had more. The late comers get the "old" black PC's...but even those are seeing more use then in the recent past. Its fun to watch the students work together to figure out a problem. I'm not doing a lot of teaching yet, just want them to explore...they are actually teaching me. I've learned a lot about the iTouches. Very cool piece of equipment. My life is changing daily as we add new apps to the device. This morning we had many things going on in the library - KRCE is back on the air, the Odyssey groups were practicing, and then the computer users took over the rest of the space. Nice and busy..Nice and loud...just like a library should be. Be checking the RCE wiki for samples of the student products soon...we've got some Steven Spielburg's in the making!
Curriculum night is fast approaching - we'll be focused on Literacy and Technology...come and see how technology supports the classroom curriculum. Bring your own laptop or iTouch and join us in creating wordles, animotos and more! February 16th - in the Library, Kiva and labs!
