The LCPS van pulled up LOADED with our Windows 8 computers... |
The Dell Backpacks were loaded in with the Tablet PC inside each one... |
Carefully unloaded and brought into the school |
uploaded into an empty classroom to be labeled, serial numbers recorded and issued to the students |
After all of the documentation was complete, the students were given the computer to "open up" and use for the first time! We only had about an hour left in the day. We have been talking about Windows 8 and some of the differences, so they were ready for the grand unveiling. We turned them on, logged on and scrolled through the initial welcome piece...
And then they were there - the Windows 8 start screen on their brand new Dell Laptop XT3 with a swivel screen and touch capabilities! The kids were ecstatic and very aware of the seriousness of following directions and making good choices. You could tell they were proud and trying very hard to be mature and contain the excitement.
We hooked one of the computers up to our promethean board as a demonstration tool for the kids to look at. |
We spent about 45 minutes today exploring the apps and the start screen. They were thrilled to find familiar programs and we allowed them some exploration time to play. They loved the touch capabilities and we started talking about the "charms" that swipe in from the right hand side. They also got very excited about just typing what you are searching for on the start screen and the program will show up.
Tomorrow is another day, and as I said to the students today..they way you are learning in this classroom is about to really change!
We can't wait to see what lays ahead!!!
