How do YOU use document cameras in your classroom?

If you have a new teacher at your school that would like to be a part of our Math Community here at ESU 10, have them log into this community (http://math.esu10.org) with their ODIE account!  That is IT! 

If they don't have an ODIE account, have them go to https://odie.esu10.org/accounts/NewAccountRequest.aspx.  There they can fill out the form requesting the account! 

Happy 2010-2011 School Year!

If you are looking to get into some interactive whiteboards, this promotion might work well for you and your school. Please share this with your administrators.

Promethean is offering a promotion for schools new to Promethean. It is called the Try before you Buy promotion. A school would be eligible to try out the ab+2 unit (like the one you have at the esu) and expressions for 60 days. If they like the equipment, the school can purchase for 1/2 price. If the equipment is not exactly what the school wanted, they can return the equipment at no cost to them.

Looking for something other than shopping this Sunday?  Come on out and join us for our December First Sunday @ Rowe starting at 1:30 p.m.  http://rowesanctuary.org/first%20sundays.htm

With native grasses and fallen leaves rustling in the breeze and the symphony from flocks of birds streaming south, late fall is a great time to explore Rowe Sanctuary.  This month’s program will take advantage of this natural music by offering a workshop called ‘The Music of Nature - The Nature of Music’ presented by former UNK professor of music Annabell Zikmund, and Rowe Volunteers Susan Elmore and Jackie Flohr.  

Other activities include nature hikes and marshmallow roasting on an open campfire!
