This week the IMC computers and laptops have been shared between classes and Mrs. Kucera, our technology coordinator, as she sets up our computers to handle the new MAPS testing program. Though somewhat confusing for us at times, the process is nearly completed and IMC computer use can go back to normal next week. In addition next week will see book check-out in both 7th and 8th grade -- the second round of book reports is starting.

Busy Computers

Business as Usual
The first part of the week was busy with 7th grade social studies researching and working on projects about native Americans. Then the rest of the week was quiet enough for the librar
ians to get some behind-the-scenes work done. While Miss Hagensee worked on new books and sorted through the returned summer paperbacks, Mrs. Wilson has been getting ID cards changed into library cards by adding the client barcodes to the back of each ID card. ID cards will be ready next week to distribute to students. Then every student will have received 2 library cards - a temporary one on a white card and their student ID card. Students are welcome to use either card, but a library card is necessary to check out books from the IMC.
Next week computers will be busy with Health and 6th grade science classes. Also the laptops will be in use for 7th grade science and Mrs. Mixon's classes.

Back to Business as Usual
After completing a computer review with 7th and 8th grade last week that covered network logins, searching the I.P.A.C. using MultiSeek to combine terms, logging in the I.P.A.C. to place reserves, and printing out student lists of the Accelerated Reader quizzes they have taken, the IMC has returned to normal business. This week the IMC computers have been in use by Health classes, 6th grade advanced LA/Reading , and 7th grade Social Studies. AND the new laptop computers had their first use with students. The IMC now has 56 brand-new HP laptops, enough for 2 classes to be using laptops at the same time with the district wireless system. There were a few bumps in the road with the new computers, but the new login procedures are just fine. All IMC computers are in demand for next week, too.
