Lincoln Elementary

We went to Lincoln Elementary and that school in general is really neat.  When you first go into the school there is a huge front that is open and you can go straight which is the library which is a circular area which I thought was cool.  That is where we got introduced to the mimio boards which is an interactive whiteboard.  I think it is really cool because you can have in on an existing whiteboard.  It is just a bar that is magnetic and you place it on the side of the whiteboard and you tell it where the edges are of the board and it works, well after plugging it in of course.  You can have a little pad with it that you can carry around with you so you don't have to be always standing by the board.  Another accessory that some of the classes use is a projector that you can use for books or anything.  The teachers at the school are deciding on not getting the big books because they can just put a book on there and the students will be able to see it.  We even got to watch a class use it for their daily beginning activities and the teacher said that she is going all digital and getting rid of the activities on the board because she can do everything on the interactive whiteboard which is really cool.
