Location: Henry Clay		Now that everyone has had a few days to use their new technology, how is everyone using it? What worked this week? What did not work, if anything?

Location: Henry Clay		What great questions! I used mine this week and determined that when using the document camera for more than one class. I should copy the notes so that I have a "clean" sheet for each class to write on "fresh" for each class.

Location: Henry Clay		The kids are really excited about the new toys! I haven't had much opportunity to use them yet (been giving exams and learning checks). Although it was great to be able to project the learning checks to talk about them.
I plan to use the Elmo this week while teaching solving systems by graphing. It will be nice to be able to project the whole calculator so they could see what buttons I'm pushing!! Can I borrow a class set of calculators from someone???

Location: Henry Clay		It may be a good idea to put a piece of whiteboard below the document camera to give you a surface that you can write on and center your camera. I know Steve has already been doing this. Way to go team!

Location: Henry Clay		Great idea.
Has anyone had difficulties with zooming in and keeping it focused. I find it difficult to stay in focus? (maybe it's just my eyes)

Location: Henry Clay		The kids sounded nervous when I said I could pre-record their lesson for them if I ever have to have a substitute.

Location: Henry Clay		I would like to know when someone does this and how it works. I believe Bryson said he was going to try this when he goes for the navagator training.
