Pre-test

I administered the pre-test to all of my students on Monday. I used the online version and I think that that was helpful. I tried to carefully explain to my students that the test would be hard and they aren't expected to know any of the answers. Because the students like to use computers, none of them shut down and stopped taking the test. A few began to quickly check "I don't know" for each one, but most of them read each question carefully and considered each answer.

Just by looking over shoulders at their work, I was able to see that we all have a LOT to learn! I will be so excited when the students pass this test at the end of this project!

Installing the projector

A colleague of mine has a projector just like the ones we all have, but she got it from a different source. She mounted hers onto the ceiling by replacing a ceiling tile with a panel of plywood and screwing it to the plywood. An extension cord runs across the ceiling and down the wall to complete the set-up!

I love my equipment!

I LOVE my new equipment! My first Powerpoint Presentation in the classroom was very successful. I was able to use visuals and show websites...things I was never able to do with my overhead projector!
