Yesterday we took delivery of the new LCD screens that we have purchased for the classrooms.  They are 42″ and connect directly to the teachers laptops.  Room 6 were the very first to use one this afternoon to share the videos from YouTube they were watching looking at our Challenge at the moment of “Curiosity and Wonderment”  The children watched a video from John Glenn who was one of the first men to walk on the moon 40 years ago this week.

The children in this picture are discussing how they can show that they are exhibiting that Challenge.  You can see the screen with the movie they have just watched.  The TV’s are SOO much better than a projector as they are bright, clear and can be used in a well lit room.

We also had a visit today from Disa McLean our ICT PD Cluster facilitator.  Many of the teachers were released to work with her looking at ways we can incorporate just this sort of technology into our classroom programmes.  If you look at the sidebar of this site you will see links to all the different online places classes are using to support their programmes.
