Get Smart!

Did you ever wonder what we do in the LMC on Staff Development Days?

First thing this morning, while you are snug in bed snoozing, all of the library media specialists in the district will meet at the Mohansic library media center. We will talk about new ways to use a variety of technology in the library media center.

Later in the morning I will return to MESMS to teach a SmartBoard class with Mr. D'Auria to all of the MESMS Certified Teaching Assistants (CTA's). They will learn the basics of how to use the SmartBoard for teaching and learning.

All of us together, students, teachers, CTA's, administrators, and all support staff, work together every day as a community of learners. Today we will take time to focus on our role as learners to make our time with you better than ever. Learning never ends, it continues over our lifetime. I hope that you find a passion, something that you love to be involved with or do, in school or outside of school, that motivates you to keep learning.

What are your thoughts about SmartBoards at MESMS? Share them here by posting a comment.

Enjoy the day!
