My new colleague Myriam is teaching her psych class in what we have affectionately dubbed “The Halloween Room.” Because, as you will soon see, all of the cushioned chairs in the auditorium are alternating brown and orange. [How did anyone ever think this was tasteful, even in the 70s?!]. Anyway, she and I went down there on Friday to hook up her laptop and see how the Power Point would work, blah blah blah. It actually is a pretty nice room, once you get used to it.
Her classroom is the only one on the entire floor in the building. It is that big. While exploring, we found this wagon cart in a supply closet and decided to take it for a ride around the building. After our escapade, rather than put it back in the supply closet, we decided to leave it ornately in the front of her classroom. If it is still there, it will be a nice ice breaker for her tomorrow!
We also had to test out the sound system in the room, and we did so by projecting a few of our favorite YouTube videos (Everyday Normal Guy and Like a Boss) onto the screen and turning the volume all the way up. Both of these being pseudo music videos, naturally much high class dancing ensued in the front of the room.
Verdict: It is a very nice sound system and the projector works quite well.
