FYI

Schedule your classes in the SRC

We have space to spread out, a lovely bright room, and best of all, we are snack and drink friendly. The new Google calendars have been shared with you so signing up is easy.

Food and drinks are allowed?

The no food or drink ban has been officially lifted in the SRC. Please pick up after yourselves and keep liquids away from the computers and printers. Otherwise, eat, drink, and be merry.

Atlas Rubicon - dun..dun..DUN!

As you update your curriculum in Atlas Rubicon, keep in mind that I am available to collaborate on projects. If you have a research paper planned, bring me in to discuss resources, narrowing topics, bibliographies - I love that stuff. If you would like to bring in someone from the community or Skype with a professional in the field, don't hesitate to ask for my help.

Also, think about the SRC as an extension of your classroom. Make a note about when you might want to schedule to use our space. Our tables and chairs can be moved to meet your needs.

Tables and chairs can move - Oh my!

Feel free to push tables together, add more chairs, and in general, move things around in the SRC. We know that the furniture is a little bulky, but Mr. Davenport has been working hard lately to update the bottom casters for smoother movement and tighten everything up for us. Make the arrangement fit your needs. We don't mind, really.
