Welcome back to school!


and of course,

Welcome back to the computer room!  

I look forward to another exciting year in the Technology Lab.  Last year, we got our technology chops wet with all kinds of projects both online and working with software programs on the computers.  Depending on your class, we dabbled in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.  We experimented with Google's Sketchup, drew with Tux Paint and Kidpix.  We created some poetry, researched populations, drew Venn diagrams, explored some online gaming, took surveys and evaluated some of the responses.  I found these projects very exciting and I look forward to revisiting and improving some of these projects and working on helping the students here at the Lorge School to further their technological skills and knowledge!

Over the summer, as I'm sure you know by now, we installed new computers in the lab.  I think they look great and I loved the expression on everyone's face (students AND staff) when they started using them.  I'd like to thank Dr. Hayward and Mr. Osman for their help in getting the new lab for us!!

As for this new tool (blogging as communication), please feel free to write back and comment on things you might like to include in our studies in Technology Lab this year.
