Got space? The LMC does!

Let’s face it.  Classrooms keep getting more and more kids, but the 1950s brick and mortar doesn’t expand with the increase in students.  While observing and assisting classroom research and projects in the LMC, I’m reminded of how important a role physical space plays in any learning environment.  If you have a class project where students need to spread out with materials, the LMC may be the place for it.  

Smartboards can enhance your lesson

We have over 3,000 square feet with about 60 tables that can be reconfigured to meet your needs.  Additionally, don’t forget the access to print and electronic resources that students will have in the LMC.  Does your classroom have windows?  If not, the LMC with its view of our beautiful new courtyard and natural sunlight might be the change in venue your class needs.  Sometimes just changing the location for one class can breathe some light into the post holiday months that make up, in my opinion, the toughest stretch of the school year.  We are also happy to announce, if you haven’t noticed, our very own Smart Board for staff, students, and presenters to use.  We have also added 20 more iPads to make up a full class set of 30.  They can be checked out from the Ellyn page where you access the labs and LMC space.  They can be checked out in groups of 5 for different units.  This way, the possibility exists for multiple teachers to be using them.  As we move forward into 2012, please utilize the resources we have available for you and your students.  Questions?  Please ask!
