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.
