HS Student Laptop Orientation-1st Day of School

My first day of school within the Hampton-Dumont CSD consisted of having the former Bulldog Byte members (students interested in technology) showcase their "Taking Care of Laptops" skit to the whole student body at the very beginning of the day.  They did an awesome job.  I then had the opportunity to speak to each grade while they received their student laptops to keep.  I talked to each grade about proper care and handling of their laptop, as a reminder from the previous year when they first received their laptops.  I then had the opportunity to help the students get logged into their laptops, and to learn some new faces.
In the afternoon I was able to surface some ideas to get technology integration rolling for the Technology Professional Development sessions which will start next Wednesday.
On Friday I will be visiting South Side Elementary to help a teacher learn how to use her Mimio and will meet with another teacher on different technology concepts that the teachers would like to incorporate.  I am also going to meet with a couple teachers in the afternoon at the Middle School to talk about Lego Robotics.  Lastly, I am hoping to help out a High School teacher to create some google docs for voting for student council members for each graduation class.
