Happy Friday Everyone! A few items to note below. If you have any questions, please let me know. Enjoy your weekend when you get there!
Technology Committee Members: Hoping to schedule a meeting in September to discuss Hardware Needs for the future. It's budget season and having this nailed down will help Leisha in presenting our needs. Be on the look out for an email with possible dates. Remember that all staff are welcome to attend any Tech Committee meeting.
If you are interested in signing up for the Google Certified Educator Bootcamp for teachers at WHS, please do so ASAP. We are trying to finalize numbers for the day. The Bootcamps are preparatory courses for teachers who want to move forward and become officially Certified in either Level 1 and/or Level 2...or just want to learn more about Google Apps. There is some graduate credit available and we’ll be offering 1 Wayland credit for completion of the bootcamp and passing the certification exam. Register: edtech.team/WaylandBootcamp
The conference is scheduled for October 19th and 20th at Gillette Stadium. Our amazing 5th Grade Team will be presenting on Wednesday. Here is a link to their two day schedule lineup (not complete yet but lots of great choices to look over).
If you are interested in attending this year, please let me know soon.
Need Tech Assistance: Just a reminder on how to use the new WPS Help Desk ticket system. You access the WPS Help Desk by submitting a ticket as follows:
Use the link under For Staff or under Quick Links. Please fill in the fields (your email, issue category, asset tag number, room #, building, summary, and description of issue) as shown in the image below.
If you submit a ticket via WPS Help Desk, you will get email responses along the way to keep you updated on the process of your request. For example that your ticket has been opened, that your ticket was assigned to someone, that your ticket has been closed... We are excited about this new tool in facilitating and communicating help issues.
