Promethean installation completed


Twenty Promethean Active Boards have been installed in NISD classrooms this week. Two of the boards are portable and 18 are permanently placed.  The boards come with various input attachments for writing, drawing and student voting.  Students and Teachers can also use palm-devices that can input more complex data into the Promethean Boards.

The following dates have been scheduled for Promethean training:
Elementary – July 28
MS/HS – July 29
Training is scheduled from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  Elementary personnel go to NES Library. Secondary Personnel go to the Secondary Library.
Promethean training manuals will arrive in about 8 days. Laptops will be available for the workshop. Training will be held in both libraries using the portable Promethean board. 

HP notebooks are available for the 20 Promethean recipients.  The notebooks are ready for the NISD network; however, a technician needs to set another user-generated password in order for the devices to used a as standalones or at home. Building Principals have all of the equipment ready to check out.



District Libraries moving to Follett



The circulation catalogs at both Elementary and Secondary Libraries are being converted to the latest version of Follett's Destiny program.  Both schools formerly used Sagebrush's Spectrum for book circulation and cataloging.  Destiny is an online program that will allow students to browse the contents of both libraries from home as well as school.  During the month of July, library data will be converted into the new Follett format.  The new circulation program should be online by the start of school.


NES to move AR and STAR to on-line versions

Currently, Accelerated Reading and Star Reading software programs are being moved to reside on RenLearn Web Servers.  The on-line versions of these programs should be a considerable improvement over the locally hosted versions.  Get the details at NES Home.
