Our First Week

We had a wonderful first week as LINC trainers. We worked on getting our new office put together. We are currently sharing the space in Central Office across from Dr. Simpson's office.

In addition to getting our space organized, we focused on our upcoming laptop training. The middle and high school teachers will be getting their Lenovo X201 ThinkVantage laptops soon. Many have signed up for the 2 hour training course over the summer. Please click here to visit our LINC website. As we create additional training materials, we will house them here.

These laptops are fabulous! There are so many amazing features and new tools. You are going to love the stylus-you can now take notes using Windows Journal. In addition, there is a built in video and image camera. So much fun!

It is hard to believe school will be starting in less than one month. The LINC trainers have a ton to do between now and start day. We are going to spend a great deal of time planning and coordinating ELITE 2 and 3 courses. Looking forward to getting going!
