SIGN UP FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE BLOCKS OF TIME IF YOU FEEL 20 MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH.** or Lab?** || **Grade** || **What do you want help with and what is the educational objective you are addressing?** || art 5,6,7,8 grade || Alba came in and we were still have trouble with how eBeam board was working. When we tried to calibrate the board it wouldn't allow us to make the right calibrations, and would jump the settings all over the place. I tried to fix the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the eBeam software. The calibrations still didn't work so I told Alba that I had to work with her next time because the board wasn't working. ||
 * **Time** || **Name** || **Your Room
 * 8:30 - 8:55 ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * 8:55 - 9:20 || Pam Brousseau || Gym,Health ||  || I started with Pam by showing her how to set-up the eBeam board. I was able to show her how to connect the board, but in all the requests for help, all the teachers said they were working with Smartboard tech and software. I was able to wok her through the calibration, but something was wrong with the board. Next time we are going to work with some interactive internet sites. ||
 * 9:20 - 9:45 || Alba lopez || 205 || spanish all school
 * 12:20 - 1:00 || Elaine Ferm || 206,library || 5th&6th || During this sessions I decided to try trouble-shooting the eBeam board and software, but all that told me was to call customer service. I did so, and after talking with one agent that had no idea what I was trying to tell her, another agent was able to tell me that this brand new board was given a bad marker, because all the markers don't work without batteries, and one of the markers just didn't work period. After getting rid of that marker, I was able to calibrate the board and get it to work properly. I also told Elaine that we could meet next time to go over different aspects of their new board. ||
 * 1:05 - 1:30 || Melissa Foran || 208 || 5-7th || I was able to show Melissa how to calibrate the board, and how to bring up the software. Using the software, I showed her how to write on the board, how to highlight, and how to make the sotfware recognize script. Next, I showed her how to use interactive websites in the classroom, such as Thinkfinity. We tried a couple interactive lessons in Thinkfinty, then I told her that next time we would work more with the eBeam software to create lessons. ||
 * 1:30 - 1:50 || Kate Julian || 104 || 2nd || Cancelled, but I used the time to try get Smart software on the board, but the board would not work with the Smart software. ||
 * 1:50 - 2:20 || Barb Loudell || 207 || 5-8 || Barb just wanted to see a couple of interactive online lessons in action. I showed her how to use Thinkfinity with the eBeam board. She tried a couple of lessons, then had to leave early to make a meeting. Next time I will show her how to create her own interactive lessons. ||
