SuccessMaker Update

emily_hundemer — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 22:16:20 +0000

The white computer lab is now up and running, with fourth and fifth graders using the SuccessMaker program for 15 minutes each day, four days a week. Students will begin by completing an Initial Placement Motion (IPM) that contains 300 assessment questions. This assessment information will determine the beginning level for each student and will assign students skills and concepts based on their strengths and areas of growth.

Once the IPM has been completed, teachers are encouraged to print weekly and monthly reports to gather information and use that to instruct small groups in areas of growth. There will be 2 professional developments on how to print reports and more importantly how to use the information in the reports. The professional development dates are below:

Tuesday, October 23: 1:15-2:15 in the computer lab
Tuesday, November 27: 1:15-2:15 in the computer lab

H. A. Hyde is fully wired. each classroom and office has internet access and we have wi-fi campus-wide. Most classrooms use LCD projectors and document cameras, replacing old-style overheads.

We have two computer labs, one with 35 emac machines for the upper grades. Teachers use this lab for research-based projects that incorporate Microsoft Word and Powerpoint as well as math practice using Successmaker. The second, smaller computer lab has 22 older iMacs to run network-based applications, mainly Successmaker, and is used by grades K-2.
