District Computer Lab Technicians

Time to archive last year, and start blogging for this one. Even try a new banner graphic..
I know it’s not August.. but October is when we finally catch our breath and have some time to think!

Welcome to Tom Georgii, out Teacher on Special Assignment for Technology Staff Development. He promises to organize a meeting for us soon. Any ideas as to what you want to find out about? We had a great meeting last year on the SBCEO Portal tools. (Check out the May  Meeting Entry.. Lots of information)

In November we will moving our lab to a new building on site! I’m a bit worried about it, because the building now is not set up for a good lab environment, and I’m told the new room will be the same, because it comes “prewired”? Just seems there is no communication about a better way to do it, before it’s put in the blueprints. We presently have the computers all around the perimeter of the room, instead of all facing a screen or whiteboard for demonstrations.

I think I may try a different method next week, and see if it works.. We have all those computers capable of being controlled by “Synchroneyes”, so instead of using the screen, the old way.. I could lock the control of all the computers, and have the students look at their OWN monitors, while I demonstrate! Wow, it might work BETTER!! I’ll report later.

I hope more of you join this “conversation” this year. One way doesn’t accomplish much.
