How
May I Help You?
Is "get organized" one of your resolutions?
There are lots of ways to get organized on your computer.
Your computer and your email are really just virtual filing
cabinets that allow you to organize, save, and locate
important information. I would be delighted to help you
learn how to organized your computer and email according to
your personal needs. Just email me for an appointment,
or touch base with me the next time I am at your school!

SRI/Star
Math Practice
Last year some of the staff at Arlington discovered the
Brainchild site. While it is not exactly like the SRI
and Star Math tests, it does use Kentucky standards and
provides on line practice for students from third grade on
up. This site not only provides an online assessment,
but also gives a detailed analysis of how the student did on
the test. It also goes over the correct answers with the
students.

This site would make a great activity for a learning center or
computer station. It also could be used by large groups
in the Computer Lab or as a whole class lesson using a
projector.
