And thus it begins

Today was new staff orientation day in MSAD#52.  It is always enjoyable to meet the eager new faces each August.  It doesn't seem possible that I was one of those last November - this has been a great 9 months!  I put together a webpage with Teacher Technology - it may be of interest to you.

Everyone was excited to learn of the classroom teacher laptops and the new desktop machines in the labs.  We have also been working on the replacement MLTI (ibooks in grades 7-8) machines.  I would like to extend an invitation to everyone in the community to drop in after school gets into full swing.

Summer is rapidly slipping by and the technology department has been very busy. With gratitude for the community support, we will be upgrading computer equipment across the district. Teacher machines will be replaced with laptops and labs with new desktops. We are preparing for delivery of these units now. The students and staff at TMS are continuing their participation in the MLTI project which is also replacing the old iBooks with new machines. We purchased a group of the retiring units for placement at LAHS in the Language Arts department. These are being placed on two traveling carts.

Groups of teachers have been participating in summer training and you will see many new webpages becoming available for parents and students as the year progresses. It is an exciting time in MSAD52 -- please stop by sometime.
