NEW TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATED AT LSA!

Teachers are utilizing the new technology in the classroom plan. Last Spring we conducted a “Technology for the Classroom” survey for our teachers. Teachers requested new equipment and software such as projectors, interactive whiteboards, document cameras, response systems, and headsets for their classrooms. We have been very busy implementing the first step towards this plan. Teachers attended many professional development sessions over the summer in preparation for the new technology.

I would like to thank the Board for their generous support toward this goal, and would like to especially thank the special people who have been the workforce behind making this happen…Jim Darden, parents, faculty, and friends of LSA! We couldn’t do this without you!

Thank you again for all your support in helping to make LSA a World Class School!

For those of us who loved LEGOs as kids (and still do!), Digital Designer is a blast. This CAD (Computer-Aided Design) program allows users to “build” with LEGOs on the computer and then save the picture or project (PC version only; MAC version has “issues”). Nothing is better than playing with the real thing, but this is a great way to introduce CAD to elementary students (and teachers!). http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/gadget/gadget007.shtml - Logo Digital Designer

CamStudio is one of the handiest tools available for screencasting. This open-source program allows you to create videos of what you’re doing on your computer and to add narration. There’s little to set up once you install the program. Choose the area of your screen you want to record, set your narration, and press the standard red record button in the amStudio window. (F9 is the default stop command.) The videos are created in avi format. Great for making ‘how to’ vignettes! - http://camstudio.org/
