Teacher teacher tell me the news!

1.) Announcing our newest mobile lab, Mary Ann!  It has 5 macbooks and 5 pc laptops(10 total).  It is for smaller groups and you schedule it the same way as you do the other mobile labs.
 
2.) People often ask me about buying computers for personal home use.  Here is a webpage I put together to answer your burning questions:
 
3.) We have cd's dvd's and earbuds for sale at the Helpdesk for $1 each for staff and students.
 
4.) We have a 2 tiered cart on wheels 60" x 24" that is free to the first person to come and get it. 
 
5.) Stay tuned for an upcoming afterschool training and time to explore the IPod Touch mobile lab (which we affectionately refer to as R2D2).  We have had teachers use this with content specific apps, audio podcasts, video podcasts.  We would like to get some of you taking a closer look and seeing if it might be something that you want to try out.  More coming on this soon.
