Equipment+Checkout

//Several technology related items are available for checkout.//


 * [[image:SonyCamera.gif align="left"]]CAMERAS:** Digital cameras may be checked out to teachers and kept all year for classroom use.

The best way to off load your photographs onto your computer is by using a card reader. Since the card reader does not use batteries to operate, you save battery power on the camera.


 * VIDEO CAMERAS**: We have a few "flip video" style video cameras that can be checked out from the media center.


 * [[image:FlashDrive.gif align="left"]]FLASH DRIVES**: May be checked out from the media center and kept during the school year. Use it to backup files on your XP or to transfer files from your home computer to your school computer.


 * LEAP PADS (from LeapFrog)**: Equipment and software is checked out from the media center.


 * ALPHASMARTS:** May be checked out individually or in sets from the media center and taken back to the classroom. Text typed on the AlphaSmart is easily 'dumped' into any computer program with a blinking cursor by use of a USB cable. The USB cable is also checked out from the media center. See the technology assistant if an AlphaSmart needs to be checked out to a student long-term and will go home with the student. A home contract must be completed in these situations.


 * PROBEWARE:** A USB thermometer. Check it out from the media center.
