TECH HOUNDS TO THE RESCUE

Lisbon – Lisbon School students are connecting the dots in the community and in schools with volunteer efforts.  Recently members of the Lisbon High School’s Tech Hounds responded to a call from Computer Teacher, Laurie Adams, at Lisbon Community School.  Adams was in need of assistance with several technology issues with school laptops. “Tech Hounds assist our Lisbon High School staff with technology related needs all the time.  This was our first request within our community of schools,” shares Lisbon High School’s Technology Teacher, Paul Giggey.  “Our primary goal with our students is technology integration.  We meet with LHS teachers to introduce new ways to incorporate technology into the classroom.  Some of our Tech Hounds search for the newest tech tool to place on our site,” according to Giggey.  “In addition to tech integration, Tech Hounds are given assignments when a need arises.  Once a request is received, like the one at Lisbon Community School, the Tech Hounds embark on a crusade of assisting in any technology related task from setting up projectors, preparing PC carts for achievement testing to basic troubleshooting.  All assignments are completed during a student's study hall of after school.” 

The Tech Hounds also help organize and conduct fundraisers.  The students see the final product of their efforts by purchasing more tech goods for the school.
