Ms. Davis (NRMS) and her new iPod Nano

Sherie Davis has found an exciting way to utilize an iPod Nano into her classroom by having particular audio-based exams podcasted to her students:

“Did my homework with the new ipod. I bought the iTalk accessory from Circuit City (online) to record the tests on the iPod. Just got it yesterday so I was able to record a science test for the trial. It was very simple to use!!! After recording the test, I plugged the iPod into the computer, copied the file into my documents and then through the student (S) drive, pasted a copy of the test -into an individual student folder. Works great! Plan on putting into use for the next test!!!! Thanks so much!”

Picasa and Tux Paint - NRE & LCE Labs

Ms. Mays & Ms. McConnell have two new free applications they are using with their students that were recently installed:


Picasa is a free software download from Google that helps you:

• Locate and organize all the photos on your computer.
  
• Edit and add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks.
  
• Share your photos with others through email, prints, and on the web: it’s fast, easy and free.
  

Tux Paint is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6). It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program.

Mrs. Connie Hammer (5th Grade Teacher - NRE) Utilizing Her SmartBoard Airliner in the Classroom

After being extremely patient while waiting for her Airliner to be repaired, Connie Hammer has found several exciting ways to integrate this new technology tool into her classroom.

With the AirLiner slate teachers can interact wirelessly with their SMART Board interactive whiteboard from 52 feet away. The battery-free tethered pen allows them to control any software application, write notes and highlight information in digital ink.

SMART’s AirLiner wireless slate enables our teachers to instruct from anywhere in the classroom and allows students to interact with information from their seats. Multiple slate users can write at the same time as someone at the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
