Something New...It's a...

VPU! I have a projector hanging from my classroom ceiling now! Very exciting times. :-) I had been using a portable VPU that the office had for teacher's to borrow. I was very thankful for the portable one but now I don't have to put it away at the end of every day! I just plug in my laptop in the morning and I'm all set for the day. Yay!

My students had some interesting questions about it as they have never seen one hung from a ceiling before.

Here are a few of my favorites:

- How did you get it up there?! (Thank you for your confidence in my technological abilities, but I'm not that good. I didn't get it "up there".)
- Did you have to use a ladder?? (If I had been the one to put it up, yes I would have used a ladder because I'm not very tall.)
- Is it going to fall?? (No, it is hung up there very tightly.)

And my favorite, asked as the principal is walking out of our room from fine tuning some details on it:
- Does the principal know you did it?! (First, I did not do it. Second, he was the one who ordered it and had it installed so, yes, he knows.)

Needless to say, it was the talk of the morning! Every time a student walked in the door their already present and highly distracted classmates would run up to them and point at the ceiling.

More power points and review games await!
