We got word today from Barb the One Place guru that…

the Mondo transparencies that were made into Promethean flipcharts for grades 3-5 (thanks to Jay) are now available and the Oral Language Pictures for K-3 are also available in One Place by clicking on the link called  Instructional Resources.

You can access the resources by logging in to One Place and clicking on “Instructional Resources.”

Here’s a great PowerPoint from Donn that demonstrates how to care for your projector so that the bulb lasts a long time.

Two of Aurora Public School’s innovative technology facilitators are attending the South Dakota’s TIE conference. You can find out what Shannon Wentworth (Sixth Avenue Elementary) and Gwynn Moore (Paris Elementary) are learning and sharing at their wiki site.

Here’s a fantastic website to bookmark. http://apscms.net/staffpages/bawagers Barb Wagers has compiled a comprehensive list of resources to guide us with Internet Safety. She has everything from Social Networks, Cyberbullying and Predators to interactive games that kids can play that teach important safety skills.

Check it out, you might be surprised at what you learn!

If you are having problems getting your laptop to display through the projector aimed at the Promethean Board, here are a couple of things to check. Of course, before doing these steps, make sure all of the cables are correctly connected and all of the equipment is powered.
