Getting Ready for the First Day

I've been busy getting things ready for that first day of school. Being the Tech Coordinator, I've been busy getting all the computers ready to go for the new school year. I just might make it! It's always fun to unpack new machines, get them ready, and then get them into the hands of students and teachers. This year all of the Elementary teachers will have their own laptop. They will be able to take it home to work on lessons and to staff development as well as use it in their classrooms. I imagine that some of them will find many ways to incorporate it into their work. Sadly, I also imagine that a few laptops may spend more time on the shelf than in the hands of the teacher. That's the frustrating part. Some teachers are as good as their students at coming up with excuses for not doing something!
