New Technology at KE

Thanks to grants from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation, KE classrooms have received useful technology upgrades!  Smart boards (interactive whiteboards) have been installed in classrooms. We use the Smart boards for a variety of games and activities, and can use them as a "regular" whiteboard as well.

We've also gotten document cameras, which are like a newer (super!) version of an overhead.  Basically the document camera is like a video camera, and displays whatever is placed under it on the screen (via projector) for all to see.  Now, not only can we display transparencies, but any object can be magnified and projected.  In the photo below a social studies map is projected so that students can see where to make grid lines.
