Our STEP team has had a difficult time getting together. Timing issues, emergencies, testing, and communication problems. But, hopefully, things will get back on track after today. It's exciting to receive new equipment and to learn new methods for teaching. Now, it's a matter of a fast catch-up, and having dedicated time to review everything in order to learn how to be efficient and capable.
I've really enjoyed having the document camera in the classroom. My kids do a lot of highlighting, and the camera has made it so easy to blow up the work and have them follow along. The few students with vision problems find this to be of great help. It has made many of the students more independent with their work and allows the teaching assistants to focus on those students with specific questions.
Despite a rocky start, I'm really hoping to see this work for us. We need to look at new ways of doing, and fewer reasons for not changing.

Thanks for organizing everything -- and sorry for making it so difficult. I'm sure it'll all be smooth sailing from here.
