News:
- Please visit my blog page and comment
on blogging and podcasting, as they pertain to a classroom setting
- Harcourt math has provided online
resources for MCSD teachers. Directions for accessing them can be
found here. The MegaMath software that accompanies the math adoption
has not yet been installed, but should be soon
- I am considering incorporating a page
on this site that lists MCSD teacher suggested web sites. Many of you
share with me wonderful online resources, and I'd like to share that
information with other teachers throughout the district. If you have
would like to submit such a recommendation, please use the “Contact
Me” link on this page and email me the web address with a brief
description of the web page. I will include your name along with the
description and the web address
Notes:
- Harcourt
Publishing, the publisher for most of the MCSD textbooks, has an
abundance of online resources available to MCSD teachers. Click here
to access these links. The resources provided by Harcourt (eProducts),
that can only be access by paid subcribers, are also available to all
MCSD teachers. Directions for registering and accessing these
resources can be found here
- More and more of you are using PowerPoint to present lessons in your classrooms. Houston County Schools has posted many educational PowerPoint presentations
on their county website. You may want to peruse them and consider using
some of them in your classroom, or editing them to suit your needs.
Click here to visit the page. Remember, to edit the files, you must download them to your computer
- Teachers, if you are
concerned about slow network activity, such as the slow loading of
internet pages, let me encourage you to refrain from some practices
that put greater stress on the network and directly affect its speed:
1) Forwarding emails or sending emails that include pictures,
music, or video files. 2) Downloading or streaming video during the
school day. 3) Using the network/internet to play music or a playlist
- Schools using the wonderful resource, United Streaming,
are asked to download the videos or clips during the afternoon or from
home and avoid streaming them during the day. Streaming during the day
ties up limited bandwidth and slows the network for everyone in the
county. To learn more about using United Streaming to create video lesson plans, click here (and scroll down) to sign up for the staff development class: United Streaming and PowerPoint
- This website has been updated
during the summer. If you do not see a resource that you have used
before, first check the link at the bottom of the Helps & Handouts
page titled Link to Old Helps & Handouts page. If the resource is
not there either, email me, using the Contact link on the left panel of
this page, and I will try to post the missing resource on the new Helps
& Handouts page soon.
- This
resource page is primarily intended to server as support for the six
MCSD elementary schools supported by Tony Mitchell. The Helps &
Handouts link to the left has many guides and directions for the
various software packages used in our district. Many of the hand-outs
from training classes are also posted in the H & H section.
