Customer Appreciates Commitment and Support  July 2008
Schewanda W. Guyton, the Explorations in Technology Instructor at Lindley Middle School in Mableton, GA, recently sent an email to Learning Labs, Inc. President and CEO David Richardson thanking the company, and specifically our field technicians, for a great school year. Here's excerpts:

My successful year is primarily due to the follow through on the commitment that you made to all of us during last summer's training.  You made a commitment to provide your service and assistance in whatever possible way to help ensure that the Explorations in Technology programs at our respective schools run smoothly.

I would like to thank you and your entire staff for the support you provide Lindley Middle School.  I want to especially thank your technicians, Carl and Paul for their patience!  They always provide courteous and professional service, helpful suggestions, and without hesitation, on the spot training.  Those guys keep a pleasant smile and offer kind words even when they setup for an installation and then, have to un-setup, and make additional trips just to get the job done right!

I am looking forward to continuing our relationship; especially since I know how deeply committed you are to the education of our students.

SC High School Teacher Fighting Campus Terror with Technology!  March 2008
Cadsoft logoBob Molkenthin, a computer and design teacher at Aiken County Career Center in Aiken, SC, has his students use Cadsoft's Envisioneer software to create detailed 3D maps of schools in the county.  These maps will go to local law enforcement agencies to help them in case the unthinkable happens--a gunman on campus.

16th Annual Applied Technologies Summer Workshop Dates and Theme Announced!  March 2008
Who done it?  Since the butler doesn't play a role, it couldn't have been him...

For this year's summer workshop, which takes place July 8-10, Applied Technologies is featuring a role-playing project in which attendees take the part of forensic science investigators assigned to solve a mysterious disease outbreak in a local apartment building. While involved in this case, the plot thickens and the investigators must take on new crime-solving techniques to help crack the case.

Investigations include simulated blood typing, chemical testing of evidence, tracking the spread of pathogens, digital photography of the crime scene, GPS use, plastic mold creation, and desktop publishing to organize the evidence. Attendees will also be able to interact with characters involved in the case, played by Applied Technologies employees.

And as usual, we will offer classes on lab and classroom management and have a BBQ dinner at the home of Learning Labs/Applied Technologies President & CEO David Richardson.

As you can see, it would be a crime to miss this year's workshop!  So investigate your calendar to clue you in to what events you'll need to reschedule so you can attend.  We suspect you'll have a killer time, so don't cop out on us.

Praise for Learning Labs Technician  January 2008
Learning Labs Technician Paul WorleyIn late December, Myesha Davis, Explorations in Technology teacher at Cooper Middle School in Austell, Georgia sent us an email praising Learning Labs Technician Paul Worley.

I wanted to let you know about the installation process of seven new modules at my school on Wednesday of this week. Your technician, Paul Worley, was OUTSTANDING!!! He came earlier than I expected...much earlier. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut-off, trust me, he can surely attest to it. He was very patient while I got my classroom prepared and ready for him to do his installation. I was concerned that I would be a hindrance to him but he kept assuring me that I was not. He met my every need and even helped me with other concerns that I had. He did an awesome job and I am thankful to have had him here getting me prepared for when my students return. Thanks for all that you guys do to make teaching and technology wonderful for me and my students.

We would like to thank Ms. Davis for her kind words, and thank Paul for his excellent service.
