We got through the first Thursday in the lab! I did 20 minutes SSR in the class, had them hand in their homework, then took them to the lab. My assignment was:
-Check your grade on engrade.com. (they are supposed to do this whenever we go to the lab)
-Check your email. (same as above)
1. Explore blogging and send me an email telling me what blogging is. Make sure your subject line is p7.yourname.blog.
2. Comment on the class blog mordohp 7.blogspot.com. (the post asks them to tell me what expository literature is)
Not the most exciting lesson, but it is a start towards their research power point. I got lots of emails but very few comments. It is really interesting to see that we still have some students who are totally tech challenged. I don't let them help each other because I've found that if I do, they continue to need help. I do love the fact that they will go home and finish assignments that they can access through their google account.

Wireless Equipment
The wireless equipment is great! It's much easier to keep the kids on task while roaming the room. It also allows for personal assistance without pointing and giving directions. They can follow along on their computer with the screen at the front of the class. It feel more like guidance instead of commands. Excellent purchase. Great suggestion Mel!

Wireless Equipment
I've ordered the wireless mouse and keyboard for Andy and myself. The total was $107.73. Hopefully with Mel's order we will come in near $187 (cost of books).
