Another seating arrangement....and new technology!

I was blessed with an overhead projector and transparencies to use in my classroom. However, I had never actually used one of these ancient contraptions in my teaching. I began to brainstorm and found a great solution. A donor gave new computers and monitors to several of the teachers. I was one of the grateful recipients. I asked if I could keep the old monitor in my classroom and was granted permission. I went to the local Radio Shack and found an adapter to hook up the monitor to my laptop computer. WooHoo! My teaching aids became so much more advanced! I could now show my students videos, type presentations, explore other continents, and so much more. 

This called for a new seating arrangement! I decided on a "U" shape formation. This arrangement brought my class together and encouraged discussion among the students. Looking back, I really think that this arrangement united my group of super students.
