visitors in the mmc!

We had some special visitors in the MMC last Thursday! My boys came in to school for "Take Your Child to Work" Day, and spent the day helping out in the Multimedia Center. They had a great time meeting all of the kids, and playing with all the cool technology!

And after lunch, we had even more helpers...Mrs. New's boys (who were also visiting Wheatley on Thursday) stopped in to help out, too!

The SMART Table Center was a popular spot for our helpers.

About this project

Last school year, we transformed our media center into a MULTImedia center. In it, students were able to explore theme-related concepts through the use of new technology. This technology included the SMART Board, a SMART table, and iPads.

This year, we have added two new centers (and more new technology): a computer center (with a computer, touchmonitor, child-friendly mouse, and printer) and an independent reading center (with iPod touches & Franklin AnyBook Readers).

It is our hope to keep this blog updated weekly with descriptions of activities, multimedia center happenings, examples of student work, and photos.
