Hope everyone had a great start to the school year tomorrow. Finally a few technology updates:
Classroom Devices:
- All classroom carts have been delivered!!
- Chromebooks Carts - FYI in several of our carts received a cable adaptor to help with the durability of the power cords. The classroom carts affected are in the following classrooms: Devlin, Mattson, Aronian, Reardon and the newer grade 3 cart. I'd be happy to do a demo of how to plug in the cords with you and/or your students.
- Interactive Flat Panels - 5 panels were installed this summer (May, Deb, Gretchen, Miriam, and the computer lab). We are excited to start using this new technology with our students.
Device Care: It's important to set up routines for taking care of your classroom carts - returning devices to the cart, logging off when done, plugging them in for charging, cleaning... Please let me know if you need any assistance in this manner.
There are 4 options to choose from:
Main Lab - 25 iPads with purple covers (only iPads)
Hallway Lab - older mac desktop computers
Skills iPad Cart - 12 iPads with black cases
Lab Cart - 25 iPads with orange cases
The screenshots below give you an idea of what is available and when. You should already have access to the online google calendars. Please add a slot or two that works best for you. Or send me your request and I will take care of adding it to the calendar.
