Laptop battery test

Sometimes the HP battery check indicates that the battery is good but the laptop doesn't stay powered long.
More testing might include the following:
1)try out a known good battery and see if it solves the issue
, 2)test to see if the laptop turns off when it's plugged in, 3) record what the battery meter is displaying in the Taskbar

Reason for these tests:
To see if there is a problem w the AC adapter overloading the battery
OR
To see if the mother board is going bad and affecting the battery

Save Energy over the holiday

Before you leave the building today, please consider these energy saving tips sent to us by the Parkway Sustainability Committee...

Lower and close the window blinds – this acts as an insulator against the cold air against the glass.
Unplug small electronics (phone chargers, electric pencil sharpeners, clock radios, etc.)
Empty, unplug and leave open the small, personal type refrigerators.  Make sure a catch pan of some type is used to collect melted frost.  If not possible, turn to lowest setting.
Turn off all lighting - including accent lighting.
Turn all computers, printers and copiers off.
Close all vestibule doors.

Also, please remember that all computers should be turned off every night before you go home.  This is a great job for students at the end of the day.

Using a Document Camera with young children

Pass these ideas along to your primary teachers.  Designed by Kathy Knutson:)  Kindergarten teacher at Parker Road Elementary in the Ferguson Florissant School District.

Ideas for using a document camera with young children:

Word Walls: Create mini thematic word walls in Word using clip art, print and lay under the document camera during writers workshop or journal time so the students can easily see the words if needed.  You can create printable word walls on line.

Poems and Charts:

§  Letter Identification/letter sounds: Make Dr. Jean’s Letter Baby w/paper plate and put under the document camera. Play the song “I’ve Got the Whole Alphabet in My Mouth” while spinning the wheel with the song.

§  Letter Identification/letter sounds: Put an ABC chart under the document camera to use with Dr. Jean’s song “Who Let the Letters Out?”  Or you can use the chart when you are doing interactive writing and the student needs to find a particular letter.  This way the whole class can see and help in the selection.

§  Concepts of Print: Type out the words to the Frog Street color songs or any poem or song in Word, then put under the ELMO and have students follow along on the big screen with a big pointer as you say the poem or sing.  You can add clip art to make it look “pretty” and to give contextual clues to the students.

Morning Message: Use the document camera to project your morning message on the big screen.  Students can use wikki stix, pointers, highlighters etc to find punctuation, words, spaces, count words etc.

ABC Manipulatives: Use the ABC manipulatives from the Lakeshore ABC tubs.  Place the little manipulatives under the document camera and have the students name each object and listen to the initial sound.  This way all students can clearly see the tiny  objects.  Put one object that does not belong under the camera and see if they can figure out which one doesn’t belong.  Lakeshore also has word family tubs that you can do the same thing with.

Question of the Day: Project your question of the day on the screen.  Have it up and running when the students walk in so they can do it first thing in the morning before class begins.  Students can respond by placing their name card or clothespin in a can under the big screen.  I use coffee cans with a happy face on the “yes” can and a sad face on the “no” can.

Class Rules: Print your classroom rules in Word using clip art.  Project your rules on the screen using the document camera every time you are getting ready to use the cart or for reminders throughout the day.  Have your class helper (leader, star student etc) come to the screen and point to each rule for the class.  This is a very effective method and has been a lifesaver in my classroom this year.  Who can ignore the rules if they are projected on a HUGE screen?

Show and Tell: If you do show and tell make a new rule that all items need to fit under the document camera, and then let students show their items on the big screen.  Everybody’s sure to pay attention when they can all see everything, no more “I can’t see!”

Making Words: Using magnetic letters has never been more fun that it is under the document camera!  Use your letters to spell words; place some letters (you have secretly already pre-selected which letters) under the camera and let the kids come up and try to spell a sight word from their list.

Environmental PrintPlace a piece of environmental print under the document camera (see link to Hubbard’s Cupboard in resources) and ask the students to help you find where to place it on the word wall.  You can also place it in an envelope and slowly pull it out revealing only a little at a time and see if they can guess what it is.

Rainbow Writing: Place a sheet of white paper under the document camera and write a large letter on it using a black marker.  As you write the letter talk the children through it; “Where should I start writing my letter?  At the top or bottom of the paper? O.K., I’m starting at the top and now I’m going straight down and sliding to the right.  What letter is it?”   Next, have one student at a time come up and trace the letter with crayons using correct letter formation, talk each student through the letter just like you did before.  Each student chooses a different color to give it a “rainbow effect”.  Post these around the room for educational decorations.

What’s Missing: This is a very fun memory game.  Place several objects under the document camera (you can use the Lakeshore ABC manipulatives mentioned earlier) and then use the Freeze feature on your document camera and take one item away.  Now unfreeze the camera and have the students guess which object is missing- my kids LOVE this game and they have become pros.  This activity helps students learn to pay attention and notice details, which is a valuable skill when noticing letters, shapes of letters, and their similarities and differences.

Following Directions: If you do any type of art projects (TLC art etc) you will love this next idea!  Demonstrating how to do a project is always a hassle, the ones in the back can’t see the details, they don’t pay attention etc.  Now, just demo your lessons using the document camera and you will be absolutely amazed how much better your students will become at following directions- guaranteed!!!  I’ve taught cutting skills, gluing skills, how to roll the glue stick up and down, how to squeeze little dots of liquid glue etc with the document camera and my kids are all pros now!

Math Manipulatives: You can place unifix cubes, bear counters, or any manipulative under your document camera to show your students how to sort, demonstrate one-to-one correspondence, more/less, positional words, longer than/bigger than/taller than etc, the possibilities are endless!

Science:

§  Place real life objects like leaves, worms, cactus under the document camera to prompt scientific inquiry.  We showed the students how to plant their seeds using the document camera.  We put the dirt in the cup, poked a hole in the dirt, put the seed in the hole, covered the hole, and watered it.  Then the students planted their seeds independently. We checked the progress of our seeds each day under the document camera so the whole class could see.

§  We have caterpillars in our classroom for one of our science units.   First, we showed our real caterpillars under the document camera so everybody could see them clearly.  We discussed their different features and answered all questions the students had.  Every time we placed the caterpillars under the camera they started moving around a lot, maybe because of the heat from the bulb, the kids were fascinated.  Then, I showed a clip of the life cycle of a butterfly using United Streaming to the class to establish prior knowledge; the clip showed a time lapse of a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly- the kids were spellbound!

Centers: Use your document camera as a center in place of an overhead, no more messing with transparencies or vis-à-vis markers.  Your overhead has just been reduced to the status of “dinosaur”.

Picture Schedule: Show your students the daily schedule using the document camera.   Place under the doc camera and project on the screen when they arrive in the morning.  The sequence could have things like “1) put away your backpack, 2) put your folder in the basket, 3) get your journal…” etc.

Texts: Small books that you couldn’t otherwise use in large group are great for showing with the document camera (little readers etc).  The document camera is has replaced the need for expensive big books.

Name Activities: Leader name sentence strips w/mystery envelope use under the document camera, to view this lesson in it’s entirety go to the resources section and click on the link to Read Write Think.

Money: Using the zoom feature on the document camera place coins under the camera to show detail and prompt discussion.  This is especially helpful since many coins are now being re-designed and finding pictures of the new coins is somewhat problematic, especially if one of your objectives is teaching money.

Interactive Writing: You can do your interactive writing on paper under the document camera, no more losing the attention of the kids sitting in the back, now everybody can see.  My kids love to see their friends writing on the big screen.  You can use pencil pointers, wikki stix, highlighting tape, highlighters, etc to point out features in the writing.

Concepts of Print: Using real texts or student writing you can search for certain letters, spaces between words, words in a sentence, punctuation, show left to right progression, return sweep etc   Use fun pencil pointers, wikki stix, highlighting tape, highlighters, etc

Display Student Work: Using the document camera we project student writing in journals or surveys the students have taken from Read and Write Around the Room to show examples of good work and to point out features of writing.  This is a real motivator for writing, you will be surprised how your students will rise to the occasion.

SMART TECH suggests visting their site to dowload the-

SMART Response interactive response system

 http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Software

You still need to uninstall all old software, but the smart response software takes the place of the senteo and works with the clickers.  It also installs notebook, and the smart driver.  Make sure you are hooked up to an ethernet cable and not trying to download wirelessly.  The gallery of objects is too big and will take forever.

How to Use Senteo Smart Response

Pull the excel file with your class list onto your desk top.

1. Open your Senteo notebook.
2. At some point, you’ll be asked to name your classroom.  I would recommend just "Teacher_Name" ...i.e. "Schmitt".  Don’t specify AM or PM because the name you give becomes the name for all your classes.  Unfortunately, I can’t remember when it asks for this.  It’s a one-time-only thing.
3. Under Senteo, choose Senteo Manager.
4. Under File, choose Import Class From then Microsoft Excel.
5. Find the first file and click on it.
6. The kids’ names should appear in the Manager.
7. Under File, click Save and name your file.
8. When you turn on the clickers (make sure the sensor that comes with the Senteo system is plugged into your computer), it will make a guess at what class you want.  If it doesn’t show whatever you’ve named your classroom (Rocklage?), you have to go down to Find a Class.  After you’ve gotten your class, you have to put in their ID number.  I always assign clicker #1 to kid #1 and so on.  That makes it easier to put in their IDs.
9. Go ahead with the quiz.
10. After you’re finished, go to Senteo at the top of the page and choose Export Results To and choose where you want the results to end up.  Don’t forget this step!!  If you don’t do this, you lose all your scores.

How to Save Documents to the K Drive

Make sure all of the files and folders that you wish to save are in your "My Documents" folder. Any files and folders that are on your desktop should be dragged or copied and pasted into your "My Documents" folder which is located on your desktop. (Copying and pasting is safer)

You can right mouse click on any files or folders on your desktop, choose copy and then right mouse click on My Documents located on your desktop and choose paste.

Once that is done, do the following:

- Locate your "My Documents" folder on your desktop and double click on it.

- With this folder open, go to Edit and click.

- From the drop down list click on Select All. (Now all your items are highlighted)

- Go back to Edit and click.

- From the drop down list click on Copy.

- Go back to your desktop and double click My Computer.

- Find and double click your "K" drive.

- Right mouse click in a space inside this folder, being careful not to click on a folder or

  file, and select paste from the drop down list.

Now all of Your Documents are on your "K" drive and will be backed up at night.

Do this often to minimize the chance of losing data if your HD crashes or something happens to your laptop.

* When you do this after the initial time, a prompt will come up telling you a file or folder already exist and do you want to over-ride it. Say yes. After you've done this a few times you can just click "Yes to All".

Keep in mind you only have 1Gb of disk space so placing a lot of pictures or music on your "K" drive will not be good. A good rule of thumb is; Do not place personal pictures in your "My Documents" folder. You can keep these in another folder but they will not be backed up. Only what you save to your "K" drive will be backed up.

If you have pictures or music you wish to safe guard you should burn them to a CD or thumb drive. If you need help with that let your CRS know.
