Epiphany

Today I worked in the Media Center at Winder Barrow High School.....it was amazing!  The MC had a makeover when the school was remodeled and it is just beautiful. The ceiling has high sky-lights and natural light brightens the entire room. There are 20 student computers, 3 labs, and 3 MC offices. I learned so much today! The day began with book covering and ended with looking at the Follett list for Science resource books!  The world of High School is just so different.....signing agendas to make sure kids were not skipping was an eye-opener! Also,  I learned that the kids sometimes try to sneak games downloaded on jump drives into the MC to upload on school computers!  The fist time I even looked at the clock was 1:20! I LOVED IT!  We converted the morning announcements to a power-point and uploaded it to a netbook. Next, we took the netbook on  a rolling cart to the lunchroom and plugged it up to the projector and dropped the big screen from the ceiling. Finally, the kids were able to watch the scrolling announcements as they ate.  Also, during lunch, we were summoned to the cafeteria to help the football coach set up the microphone.....we took of the end of the microphone and hit the sinc button on the receiver and mic and he was ready to Pep up the kids for the Winder Barrow Bulldoggs home game!  The rest of the afternoon flew by as classes continued to come in for 45 minute segments on the computers.  I am now more certain than ever that I made the right choice in my career path........this was an awesome day!
