LEARNING COMMONS
THANK YOU & NEW WISH LIST ITEMS
The Learning Commons has recently received three significant donations of common household/garage goods from our wish list. We were able to further stock our makerspace and shared some of the supplies with the applied math classes. Thank you for your generous donations to build our Zapp Lab and other hands on work spaces!
We have added a few new items to our wish list, but have a special request. As your family may be upgrading your phone technology, please consider donating old phones to the Learning Commons. We have a set of Google Cardboard Virtual Reality headsets, but no devices to project the videos. The minimum requirement is simply a functioning phone which can connect to the internet. We will be able to access hundreds of virtual tours with minimal investment and provide students with a whole new way to interact with rich learning opportunities. Check out a sample video here and even more amazing with virtual reality!
