School open house
The school's annual open house is Sunday, January 25 from 10:30 - 1:00. All are invited to attend.
Last year we demoed three rooms what different kinds of SmartBoards. Since then, we have installed Smart devices in almost 20 classrooms. We will feature this huge advancement in classroom technology by having each teacher prepare a lesson to be presented to parents. We will also be filming these lessons prior to the open house and make them available on the website. (see our first attempt at these videos)
first smartboard video
Deanna was brave enough to volunteer to be the subject of our first smartboard video. The video is short (and I am a terrible editor with FCP). More videos to come from other teachers in the near future.

SMARTBoard pictures
As promised, here are some pictures of our SMARTBoards in action:
Jen is using Google Earth to show the students an aerial shot of St. Regis, the students tried to guess when the image was captured based on where cars are parked, if students are on the playground and shadow locations!
1st SMARTBoard classroom done!
A lot of extra time and effort has finally paid off: 1 down, 2 to go!
The tech team would like to thank Alison Gleeson and Garry Arbuckle for their time and talent in pulling together all the information and people needed to make this project happen. Also, thanks is due to the private donors (including the Moms and Dads Club) for making this effort financially possible!
We would also like to recognize the 3 teachers who have been extremely patient while their rooms are being worked on: Kathy Balch, Michelle Lee and Jen Roman.
