"This fully functional "talking" calculator calculates basic math functions and can be used with or without a screen reader. Every button and edit area talks. It is easy to use with large keys and contrasting colors. It has three display areas, so when the user adds a series of numbers, the total is always displayed, even as a new number is being entered and while always displaying any numbers in memory."
WatchKnowLearn has indexed over 33,000+ educational videos, placing them into a directory of over 3,000 categories. The videos are available without any registration or fees to teachers in the classroom and to students at home 24/7. Users can dive into our innovative directory or search for videos by subject and age level. Video titles, descriptions, age level information, and ratings are
all edited for usefulness. The Web site invites broad participation in a new kind of wiki system, guided by teachers."

Our apologies. There is inaccurate information on this page of the Calendar. The statement "School employees can have the monthly fee (approximately $30) taken directly from your paycheck" is inaccurate. It should read "County employees can have the monthly fee (approximately $30) taken directly from his or her paycheck." The version on http://lcps.org/at has been altered to remove the wording altogether.
Our apologies for the misinformation,
