Spring is in the air. Birds are chirping. Trees are budding. Nature is rebooting for a new season and our
schools are heading into the final stretch of the year. If you think classrooms are only buzzing in
the Fall, hop on in to our kindergarten classrooms this spring and you’ll see
them squealing with delight over chickens.
Well, actually chicken eggs.
As part of the curriculum,
kindergarten classes learn the life cycle of an egg. They have been patiently taking care of
chicken eggs in their classrooms all over our district. To help share in the joy, our technology
integration coaches met with several kindergarten teachers in the district to
gather input and ideas of how to share the information of the chickens in a
minute-by-minute fashion.
They came up with a plan to
live stream the action using ustream. This way no one would miss the first beak breaking out of it’s
shell! This preparation took place in Februrary.
The elementary Technology Coaches met with Kevin Fry and LMTVstudents to get the
low down on how to use ustream and work the technical aspects of the plan.

This advance preparation boded well for the project. Below
you’ll find links to each of our seven elementary schools. This week is the due date so
to speak, so pop some popcorn, pull up a chair and enjoy watching the action
with your family.
