Getting with the times



Have you seen these????? Its the new way to learn.

Tucker's elementary is out with the black boards, chalkboards, and dry erase boards and in with each classrooms own "smartboards" thats right Tucker will be learning in the classroom with the latest technology by next spring. These are touch boards that are ran from the teachers computer and the next step is to have a screen at each childs desk so they can interactively learn from their seats just by touching their screens and answering questions-------wow blow me away. Really glad we are working with he and Jaycie already on using the computer my little geniuses with be using them daily!

We have a school district that is needless to say in very good shape financially (thanx tax guy) and in cooperation with U of I so we will be a pilot school for this for others but it may be headed to your school next! We were notified of them this week and they will be electronically hooked up hopefully over the winter break. They are hoping to hold a demo for all us old fogie parents soon after that. How Cool Go Heyworth elementary!!!!

They are very cool! Oakland had a few but not every classroom was lucky enough to have them. Here in TN, well thats another story. I am not even sure they have heard of them yet. :)
