Brownies and the Project Calculator for MILP

Last Friday, I demonstrated the Project Calculator to a student, our school secretary and told a couple of teachers about it. I then memo'ed the entire staff on the Project Calculator. The student was in awe of it and had used it with a project she had upcoming. Her teacher was in the Library just after we had practiced it and I told her about it and told her the student who had discovered it.
I demonstrated its use to the school secretary and she was dazzled and excited because her son is taking college classes and could use it with his papers. I especially loved the glossary as it has all the important phrases that could need clarifying with this Literacy bent of research. I am still seeking to remember how we split the screen so as to have the teacher parts side by side with the student parts. Since I was lucky enough to hear Leslie describe it at MEMO the previous weekend and then have the opportunity to hear about it again at our class on last Wednesday and then the following day hear about it yet once again at our Librarian's Meeting from 3 - 5pm hosted here at Humboldt. I think it was most appreciated at our Librarian's meeting due to playing the DVD about the project and having Wuollett's brownies and some other goodies to go with it!
