School Equipment
I am very excited for those that were able to secure new equipment for your labs of any kind. I now see how resourceful my students and I have been to work with and make the best with what we have. I am thankful for what we have, however I am looking forward to receiving broadcast quality tools that are desperately needed for my classes. I hope that the equipment I have requested will come in before school lets out so that I may practice and become familiar with it before Fall. You guys have a great Spring Break...you deserve it!
I have to put in requests for items in my classroom as well. At first, I was really excited because I thought if they are asking for items that we need that we would receive them, but that is not the case. They have to go through and evaluate everyone's requests and then spread the money based on need. My lab needs quite a bit of software to get up to speed with industry. I'm going to pray real hard that my class falls at the top of the list when handing out the funding. I also hope that we can get the software in before next fall so that it can be installed and running smoothly before classes begin. Good luck with your equipment requests!
