Thank you PTA!Dancing_snowman

Make sure you ask your children about "Beyond Question."  This is a program designed to engage every student in an interactive and creative lesson.  The students are presented with information through a PowerPoint presentation.  They have the capability to respond to yes-no, true-false, survey style or multiple choice questions by using a wireless response device.  Teachers can instantly assess whether the students have already grasped the subject matter or whether more time needs to be spent fine tuning. 

The students are eager to participate. Everyone enjoyed the first presentation on playground safety and the children are looking forward to their next experience with Beyond Question.

Lori Let me introduce myself...my name is Lori Schulman.  I am a Technology Para Educator at Garrison Mill Elementary.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Business and a computer minor.  I worked for IBM for many years and took a sabbatical to have three wonderful children.  I was not ready to go back to the corporate world and thought I might like to teach. I taught pre-school for a while and then ended up at “GM,” where I have been for the last six years.  I absolutely love technology and working with children, so I cannot wait to get started in my new position…it’s the best of both worlds!  I adore my Garrison Mill family and I am looking forward to assisting all of our wonderful students and faculty with bringing technology-rich projects into the classroom.

Accoring to Jim Fitzgerald, in a June 24, 2006 article in USA Today, robots help hospitalized students keep up with their school work and their friends.  The robot in the hospital allows the student to view the activity in the classroom, while its robot counterpart gives the student a "telepresence" in the classroom.  To read further, click here:  Hospital Robots.
