You have taken time to talk with us when we visit, to email us, and to send us copies of your files. We have learned from you what it takes to use technology in the classroom. This is our opportunity to thank everyone . Nadis's description above is a nice summary of what we have heard from many of you. Below are some ways ISX is preparing the TA to continue to grow with your technology plans.
Teachers have many things on their minds.
A teacher's calendar sits on the desktop, together with a rolodex, pencils for writing journals or feedback. Desk drawers, which open and close, are labeled for Syllabus, Lesson Plans, Gradebook, and other TA functions. As part of the new graphical look and feel, the interfaces can be customized to each teacher's personal preferences. Teachers will be able to set their own defaults, such as setting the grade level and remembering the last subject, or setting default quarter definitions, or automatically displaying assignments on the daily calendar. Teachers have the most complicated and dynamic schedules.
