Mt. Tabor teachers continue to use their Interactive Projectors and whiteboards on a daily basis. Having this large visual resource will allow teachers to choose visuals that may better reach more students for differentiated instruction. Many times, especially in Science and Math, various concepts may be more difficult for students to visualize or understand. A large visual image may help some students better understand and make connections with these concepts.
Also through the ARRA grant, our school received 3 more macbook carts with additional 35 new macbooks. These macbook carts will be kept in various classrooms throughout the school to use in the classrooms as portable labs. Plus 5 ipads will be use with special needs students.
It is going to be an exciting year with this additional
technology equipment!
