We are 13 days away from rolling out our 1:1 laptops to 6th grade across the district! This week the 6th grade teachers attended trainings on how to be an educated educator and stay safe when teaching with technology. Some of the topics discussed were district owned vs. personal devices, cell phone use, copyright infringement, social media and digital citizenship. All topics were looked out from all sides; from teacher use to students use at school. The teachers had a chance to look at the online Digital Citizenship course that all 6th graders will be required to complete. They were then given time to create their own technology guidelines for their classroom and design a lesson for the first day the laptops come to school.
We have also started training our Student Tech Teams at all the middle schools. Students have been taught basic troubleshooting, how to reboot the system and how to replace laptop batteries! The teams will be ready to go when the laptops are deployed!
