LeslieOur school just got a donation of laptops for the teachers. My admin wants me to write an acceptable use agreement/policy. Does your school have one that I could see to use as a guide? Thanks Leslie
One of our teachers discovered the IPEVO camera which is around $70.00 compared to the ELMO's $550. Seems to work in much the same way and is certainly budget friendly.
Many teachers at my high school have loved using document camera's as they teach. For those of you who are as old as I am ("Why, children I remember being in 6th grade when that young dynamic Kennedy ran for President!") the document camera has the best features of that old (HUGE) opaque projector and the overhead projector---you can show pages from books/newspapers/art pictures--- you can write on the pages and students can follow your reasoning and work---you can connect it to your computer and with the ELMO showed video (IPEVO cannot). But then your LCD projector and your computer can show video clips....
How do I get the picture not to cover canvas when I insert the picture. How can I get the cross line across the image to get it to move. Sometimes I select an image and it will not move. Where can I find a good helpful site that will do give you the run arounds
We're considering a move and my husband is in this field in higher ed but also looking at school districts. Just wondering what the school districts are like for this field.
i know that SMARTboard technology is probably the best classroom technology out right now, but does it create a disavantage for students that are not visual learners?

I downloaded some fantastic videos from YouTube using the RealPlayer download. The problem is, they're stuck on my home computer. I'd like to burn them to DVD and take them to school for use.
I tried RealPlayer's DVD burner but it appears to be stuck in a vicious circle: click on disk type (DVD video) and it takes you to an upgrade for $40 (no thanks), then a freebie upgrade (that doesn't do what I want to do). Clicking on No Thanks sends me back to where I was, asking me to click on a disk type. (Yes, I did put the blank DVD into the burner.)
I've got several other DVD burning software on my computer, from Roxio's Easy Creator to iTunes.
I have been surfing looking for some new websites. I often use Starfall and several other good websites with my kindergartners; however, I am looking specifically for websites with similar age appropriate activities that offer a little more feedback about what the children are doing. When my class works independently on Starfall, it is hard to track specifically what they worked on and to make sure they mastered one skill before moving on to the next.
Does anyone have any website suggestions that either give the teacher feedback about student progress or are leveled requiring the child to master one skill before moving onto the next?
