The Science Department at LCHS has been busy experimenting with inventive and cutting edge solutions that will help increase student achievement in their department. Mark Prosise and Brandon Waters created a blueprint for a truly state of the art room that will combine a multitude of technologies. This room will be outfitted with 30 iPad 2’s, 3 HD TV’s with the ability to wirelessly broadcast student work to the screens, a server to host and broadcast student work, as well as collaborative workstations that allow students to write with whiteboard markers directly on the tables! These gentlemen have invested lots of time and energy creating this room and will continue to do so as they rework all of their lessons! Elements of the technology is slowly being introduced but it should be up and running by fall.  Great job guys! For a preview see the video below.
