Hope everyone is having a good start to their week.
1. Tech Days: It's time to start our 1-to-1 Tech Days. These days will be offered on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Interested teachers signup for a 50 minute time slot. We will work together on a topic of your choice or we can work together with your class on a technology related project. A sub will come in to relieve you, please have sub plans ready. If you are interested in working together this Thursday, October 9th, then please sign up via Doodle. Lastly, leave a comment in the doodle form so I know what you'd like to work on together. Thanks.
2. All The Right Type: We have had issues over the past week with ATRT. The company is having issues with their cloud-based hosting company. I'm hoping things are resolved quickly and back to a more stable environment. Thank you for your patience.
3. Computer Lab Calendars: Starting on Wednesday, October 8th, the computer lab calendars will be online! I will put away the sign-up book and you will only be able to sign-up for lab times via the google lab calendars. I will be sharing with you two google calendars - Master HH Main Lab and Master HH Hallway Lab. You will receive an email notifying you that I have shared a google calendar with you:
Please note - You have full permissions to edit these calendars so please be careful when signing up. At this time, there is no way to lock events. Classes that have a double ** are weekly technology classes. The other classes are RTI blocks, skills labs or weekly slots signed up by classroom teachers. When signing up for additional slots to work on projects, please...don't be a lab hog :) Be mindful that these two spaces should be available to all. I'd rather not put too many restrictions out there so lets see how it goes and touch base next month.
4. WPSF Grants: The deadline for WPSF Grants is fast approaching. If you need any assistance with technology grants, quotes...please see me ASAP. Just a reminder that under the foundations new procedures, I must sign-off on all HH technology grants.
5. Tech Committee Update: Our first tech committee meeting will be on Thursday, October 16th @ 3:30 in the computer lab. All our welcome to join us.
