Action Plan in Place

I met with my site supervisor on Friday, August 24, 2012 @ 1:30 p.m, about arrange two demonstrations for her and the technology specialist for the school. We also discussed my findings on the various prices for the laptops vs. tablets and the prices of SMART boards. During our conferences she decided on movable SMART boards instead of having them attached to the walls. She wanted the boards to be able to move in order to share them amongst the teachers. I have to do some more research on the moveable boards. 

She truly liked the idea of the MOBI technology. She had never hear of the MOBI system before, therefore she was intrigued by this technology. We decided due to time constraints, we decide that the week for September 17 thru 21st would be feasible to arrange the demonstrations. I have schedule the two demonstration for September 17th and September 21st.  This was a very productive meeting.

Oh Happy Day!

Technology link for Interactive Whiteboard

Thanks to Flipper 'sCloset, I discover a new interactive whiteboard called the MOBI.  The MOBI stands for mobile interactive whiteboard.  If your class doesn't have a SMART board or interactive board, it doesn't matter with the MOBI.  The MOBI can work with your own regular whiteboard and it's portable control for teachers and students.  It's cheaper too.

Pieces of the Puzzle

Good News all of the pieces are falling into place.  Hoooray !!!!
I finally received all of the price quotes for the interactive whiteboards and I put together a chart of prices between laptops and tablets.  My site supervisor has approved of the work, now she just needs to choose which vendor.

 I want to thank everyone for their helpful hints and comments.  I also want to give a special shout out to Flipper's Closet  for the advice on the dual whiteboards.  I had never heard of the dual whiteboard, much thanks.   I will also mention those boards to my  principal that might change the plan little.  I will keep you posted.

Making progress -- Hooray !!! :)

I am making progress.  Yahoo !!! I spoke with one of the vendors today. I guess writing an unflattering email about their response time seemed to work.  The vendor representative informed me that he would need certain information about my school, once he got the necessary specs, we were able to move forward.  They will contact me with the necessary information within 24 hrs.  
Persistence, perseverance, and an unflattering e-mail works wonders.  Hooray for progress.

The pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together. 

I want to SCREAM !!

I hit a snag with my research project.  I'm waiting to hear from two SMART board reps. with the price quotes.  I've called and e-mailed, now I playing the waiting game.  I want to SCREAM!!!  Other than that little snag the rest of my plan is going well.  I've research the various prices on laptops vs. tablets, so far they're about the same, it depends upon the Gigabytes and/ or WiFi.  I spoke with my site supervisor about the budget of the equipment, she stated there's no true budget but I will set a budget just in case.  Wish me luck.
