A Timely Visit between TIP  Teams!

A group of IHS students, who had traveled to New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina to help rebuild the area, visited Lively Elementary to share their experiences in viewing the devastation.  This was particularly timely in that Lively, as a campus, had studied Katrina/hurricanes and done several technology projects related to both. During their visit, two students from Irving High's KIRV crew joined Lively's team for a joint broadcast. (Click on picture at right to view video.)

KIRV: Video Pep Rally
http://www.kirv.net/

Lisa Lobb's KIRV Broadcast team produces campus video annoucements and maintains an associated website. To boost team spirit before one of the games, they created this video pep rally. The video was also shown to DeZavala students to "rev" them up about being future tigers!

 

Through the TIP grant, we have been able to focus on addressing some of the challenges associated with the implementation of laptops. Our teachers have been provided with Staff Development opportunities in Love and Logic, 21st Century Learning Skills, pullout time to work on team projects integrating technology, and subject area pullouts to provide time for development of job-alike technology resources and projects.
