Glacier Valley Elementary Technology Inventory
We have a wide array of technology tools available to us at Glacier Valley Elementary. Available to every classroom are three carts with 24-30 Apple laptops each; ELMO devices; widescreen TVs that can project information from various sources such as a computer or ELMO and are equipped with cable; speaker systems with a microphone for the teacher to use, electronic science tools such as a USB probe scope; the library has a flip camera, wireless microphones, and a digital still camera that anyone can check out. Although the electronic science tools are available for anyone to check out, there has been little training to staff on their use as yet.
There are Alpha Smart typing devices for students in 3-5 grades to use; Geoffrey has wireless Neo devices; the library has a smart board with a laptop attached to it; our gymnasium is equipped with a full audio system; the commons and gym have large projection screens equipped with an internet connection.
I noticed that your school seems to have a wide range of technologies for students to explore. I would like to see more information on alpha typing and neo devices since i am unaware of what exactly they are or do. I have to ask myself why does GV have so much more than say Riverbend since it seems to be technology that helps drives educational exploration.
