laptops for a whole class
From: Mark Alexander (markcalexander_at_TeacherArtExchange)
I'm so excited! My school has a new cart full of enough Toshiba Satellite laptops for a whole class. Something like 26 of them, and each one connects to the school's network, printers and the internet wirelessly. They charge up while sitting on the cart. Each teacher got a matching laptop (last spring), so we would be well versed in how they work and be better able to guide the students. It has been a long year of waiting but we just got the word that they will be ready to use in a week.
We got a private grant of matching funds for the project, which includes a few teacher inservices on use. Last year, when the BoE couldn't come up with the matching funds, a private donor stepped forward and filled the gap.
The other day there was a graphic design link Patty posted which will perhaps be my 7th grade's maiden voyage with them. Does anyone have a similar set up? What would you do with your middle school art classes if you had these cool tools?
