SCHEDULE

Equipment
There is a sign up sheet in the library for the following equipment:
Boombox: Our boombox has cassette to
cassette recording capability and a CD-ROM player.
Digital Cameras: We have 4 Sony Mavica digital cameras with battery
chargers. The Mavica's use floppy discs. Two of the Mavicas record
video as well.
DVD players: We have four portable DVD players available for check out by
faculty.
InFocus Projectors: We have five projectors
available on loan. One projector is mounted on a moveable cart that is also
outfitted with a DVD/VCR player and speakers. The other four projectors
are in cases and portable. (One of the portable projectors is currently
broken.) The library staff is available to assist you in the set up of
equipment in your classroom.
Listening Centers: We have several cassette tape players and 2
listening centers. We also have headphones.
Memory Sticks: We have three memory sticks. One is
permanently checked out to a computer lab.
Screens:- The library has three portable screens.
One is housed upstairs in the equipment room outside the teachers' room.
The other two screens are kept in the library.
Smart Board:- We have one portable Smart Board. It requires
installing software on your computer and re-orienting the board once it is
moved.
Televisions: There are carts outfitted with
televisions and VCRs on each level of the building. The library provides
television carts for clusters on the main level (Panthers, Lions, Orion, Gemini,
Aquarius, Marlins and Penguins). We have 3 carts, one of which also
has a DVD player.
The televisions for other levels are overseen by a Housemaster. There are
television/VCR carts upstairs for the 7th grade, downstairs for the Pisces and
Pegasus clusters, and downstairs for the Sharks. Television/VCR carts may only
be transported by students and must have a safety strap.
Video Camcorder: We have one VHS-C video camcorder, with tri-pod and
cassette converter. We also have a supply of blank video tapes.
