This month was very busy, with our new system coming online, a scheduled training for campus technology assistants/teachers who would be helping their campus with eChalk. During this time, we had 3 people from our campus attend. Karen James and I are both part of the Lamar University Technology Leadership Program and have been working […]
As part of our ongoing effort to get users to be more involved with information to their web pages, and because our web hosting service was changing to an Internet Provider only service we decided to switch our web hosting to eChalk. This was approved by School Board last month, and transition to the new […]
June was a month in which I focused some attention on personal needs. I did not do much in terms of focusing on projects this month. I will be dedicating July and August back to school based projects that will include developing and creating training sessions for our new Content Management System eChalk so that […]
May was a slow month, yet a busy month. It was slow in the sense that I did not get as much as I wanted to do with my filed projects only because I was finishing up with finals at Navarro College and finishing projects with students at Maypearl ISD. The work that was done […]

Both of these are geared to show teachers how they can use these tools to engage students and increase productivity. The […]
Over the course of this first month after receiving information regarding what is required for the Internship I have begun to realize some things are already being set into motion. I also know there are many other things that I could place into my logs if I go back and look at what I have […]
