The vote was taken, and the public decided. In 2003 the public approved a SPLOST was approved to fund several important projects. Instructional Technology was on the list of projects. The money was collected, then it was spent. Some of it was spent on up-to-date computers in ourclassrooms so that students would have access to modern technology. Every student in MCSD has access to a modern computer and wow the things they are doing!! Mark your calendar to come and see!!
Tony Vincent to Keynote TechnoExpo
iPods and iPhones and Palms Oh My!!!
Described by Edutopia magazine as a "tireless evangelist for the power of handhelds," Tony's specialty is creatively using handhelds for engaging activities, and he's spread his message across the country. He has inspired educators with his practical workshops and enlightening presentations. He also teaches a graduate class for the University of Nebraska titled, "Handhelds in Teaching and Learning." In addition, Tony's expertise was used to co-write Handhelds for Teachers & Administrators, a complete resource for using handhelds in the K-12 classroom.
Always excited to share, Tony has documented much of what he knows about handheld computing and podcasting on his website, learninginhand.com. There you'll find useful software collections, the best web links for handhelds, complete lesson plans, and an informative blog. In fact, work on Learning in Hand has given Tony opportunities to work collaboratively with software developers on educational software for Palm Powered handhelds. Applications like SpellIt, Gone Mad!, Simplify, MixedUp, Divisible, Angles, Dictate, and SillySentences are freely available for download and use.
Get Ready..It is right around the corner.
