Post #22: End of Year Tech Procedures, Software Tools, Technology Committee



...for all of your work, support and input this year. Technology changes so frequently and we all try to go with the flow as best we can. Here are a few items to end the year.


Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. 


End of Year for TechnologyEnd of Year Technology Procedures - Lots of information so please read carefully. If you need cleaning supplies, please stop by the lab. A few important dates to note:
  • Tuesday, June 18th by 3:00: 
    • All classroom laptop/iPad carts need to be returned to the computer lab by the end of the day. (Cleaned, Shut down and organized)
  • Tuesday, June 18th by 3:00: All TA laptops along with chargers need to be returned to the computer lab. A box will be on the main table. Please check your name off that you returned your laptop and charger. 
  • All WTA staff must complete the summer Checkout Form so we know if you will be taking your laptop home for the summer. (Link is also on the End of Year Tech Procedures page.)

Software Tools:  As you plan for next year, you may want to review the Instructional Tools Policy (which is found under For Staff). From there, you will see a link to the MSPA website which lists our software tools and their status for use. This website will be updated over the summer as agreements are signed and received. 

Technology Committee: The technology committee met this week. The notes from our meeting can be found here. We had another productive meeting. We discussed the device needs of students/staff and software tools. We will need to continue to work with the Leisha and the administrators to ensure that we receive the budget necessary to support our device needs. 

I'd like to thank all of the technology committee members for their time, thoughtful input and collaboration this year!!
