The Parent Teacher Council (PTC) generously donates funds to the children and staff at Pennoyer School to enrich and improve instruction! The PTC's most recent fund-raising and donations are "in action" even before school starts! The new interactive Mimio Teach instructional packages have arrived, are installed, and training has begun.
We're sharing photos of the Mimio Teach, an interactive tool that lets teachers and students "interact" with their computers on a large white board for whole class and small group demonstrations and lessons. In addition, the PTC donated funds purchased "clickers" that let teachers get instant feedback from students regarding student understanding and learning, a "slate" which allows the teacher or students to walk around the room and electronically interact with the system, and a projector which allows for image display on the white board. The board is also a regular white board for use at any time with dry erase markers.
Before school, several teachers came in for training on how to maximize the effectiveness of the new Mimio system; additional training will take place in a few months.
Thank you PTC!!
