ES Technology Update August 2022

 Esteemed Colleagues,

It was great to see you in my session this morning. I am looking forward to a great year collaborating with you in your classroom and the makerspace. A big thank you to the tech team members who had a very busy summer preparing for the opening of school.

Here are a few reminders from the tech department this year:

• Help Desk is now the tool for requesting tech support (not the technology email).

• Student devices will remain on campus.

• Parents will be completing an acceptable use agreement in PowerSchool acknowledging that they are responsible for damage and loss of school devices (and we will be charging for damage).
  

• The Acceptable Use Policy is now called the Responsible Use Agreement (but we will continue to use both titles).

• We now have class sets of Ozobots, Spheros, & Botleys. Let's code!

• Click on the new icons on your desktop if you haven't tried them already.

• Introduce yourself to Yus when you see him.

• More about the makerspace soon.

Below are some important links that I think you will find useful:

• Link to the tech update presentation

• Getting started with Seesaw guides

• Go deeper with the Seesaw Learning Hub

• How to use Seesaw Messages
