Teachers and Student Participate in H.S.A. Presentation
Two Teachers and one
student jumped into the future by demonstrating new ways of delivering
information by using the modern technology located in the Multi Media
Presentation Room. A teaching
station equipped with a computer, VCR, laser disk player, and a ceiling mounted
video projector offer an effective information delivery system.
Gary Whitehead (English Teacher) and Jim Laux
(Math Teacher) demonstrated the capabilities of using PowerPoint for
instructional use. Greg T. demonstrated his PowerPoint project completed as an assignment for Mr.
Whitehead's Junior English Class.
Video Conferencing through the Internet was also demonstrated. Plans are being made to use this technology for bringing more of the world to our students.
Encyclopedia Americana Given to Lalor Library Media Center
Several important projects were completed over the summer by students volunteering for the community service program. The most visible and labor intensive was the remounting of the flags. Student volunteers Edwin L, Dan P, Phil P, with summer employees David W and Michael J assisted in removing thirty five dusty flags from their warped wooden poles, washed each, hung them out to dry and ironed where necessary. Each flag was then reinstalled on a six foot piece of conduit with self tapping screws (no string) and topped off with a golden cabinet knob to act as finial. The flags were then placed back in their respective brackets looking good for September.
Ji H R helped shelve books and made sure books were in the correct Dewey Decimal order. Brian F jumped on board and helped David W catalog the large record collection. Christopher K, and Jason C also volunteered several days and assisted on other projects.
Many thanks all the students
that chose to work in the Lalor Library Media Center Summer ‘97!!
Display Cases on Low Bookshelves in Planning Stage
Would Give Library Gallery/Exhibition Capabilities
Display and exhibition space would dramatically increase with the installation of display areas on top of some or all of the library’s fourteen low bookshelves. Still in the planning stage, these display cases could be as large as two feet by twelve feet and house student created displays such as solar systems, artwork, sprouting seedlings, or even an ant farm. At the perfect height for a standing observer, these areas would be put to an educationally efficient use. The cases themselves would be roughly two feet in height and have several slide in plexiglass panels with a plexiglass top to take advantage of the natural light.
