What follows is an email exchange between Middle Years English Teacher Meddie Finnegan and Technology Integration Specialist Mitch Novy. Meddie's Activboard was acting up and she was requesting Mitch's assistance. This is how the interaction went down...
Dear Mitch,
I have the Activboard blues. This time the keyboard won’t work. Here’s a little song I wrote about it – for your entertainment.
I have the active board blues
I feel it in my shoes,
A keyboard that won’t work
Mr. Calibration is a jerk.
The hard drive, she is fussy –
A deep hibernation hussy,
And a pen that was on the lam
Really left me in a jam
The active board blues -
Oooooh, the active board blues –
Whoooaaa whooooaaaa
Dear Meddie,
Here is a rap version of my
response:
Yo, my name is Mitch and I’m
here to say
I don’t want you to feel dismay.
Activboards can be a useful tool
But when they don’t function,
you look like a fool.
I’ll bring a new keyboard from
our stash.
That old one you have belongs in
the trash.
I’ll check the board’s pen for
you, Meddie,
We’ll get you back to being
happy and ready.
Word.
Needless to say the problem got fixed right away.
Love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere’s nothing like a little (or a lot!) of creativity and humor to work out a problem. I love that our teachers lead by example in this way. Even if the kids didn't experience this particular exchange first-hand, it's indicative of the team’s exceptional approach to problem solving.
