Below is a brief Technology update. Please note I have delayed SmartBoard type device purchasing.
High School Computer Lab B: New computers have been install.
MS and HS Lab C: Computers from Lab B have been moved to upgrade lab C.
Smartboard and Similar Devices: Purchase of Smartboads or similar devices have been delayed while I look into concerns with projection glare for the Memio and the possible option of a flat screen alternative to the Smartboard. I apologize for the delay this will cause in receiving and installing the devices in classrooms this year. I just wanted to make sure the devices we get are safe and the most up to date solutions for interactive learning visuals. I have prioritize this on my to do list.
PowerTeacher GradeBooks: while your PowerTeacher login and grade books are available not all schedule changes and student enrollment is complete. Changes may still be made. Please check with your division principal for finalized schedules and class list.
Projectors: Brackets for upstairs classroom projectors are being installed
Network Connectivity: We are closely monitoring network connectivity to assess Internet speed on the two direct lines we moved to at the end of May.
If you have any topics you would like me to cover in future tech updates please let me know. I hope you all have had a great summer.
Keep Computing!
