Last week was not quite as successful as I would have liked. Our principal was away at administrator retreat with others from the district. I did, however, get in a few hours with our building tech coach. Before school got out we spent an hour working on technology inventory for the school. Every year we are told to turn in a list of technology into the tech coach. There is very little order to this request. Each teacher types (some even hand write--the horror) a list of the technology in their room. This typically includes any computers, laptops, projectors, etc. Most teachers don't know the names of their technology and hardly any know to put the county ID number down. After helping our tech coach with this situation this year, one of the jobs I have been assigned is to create a universal form. I am going to do this on Google docs so that all staff can fill it out online and turn it in there as well. To go along with this form I am going to create a step-by-step tutorial for our staff members who are still very low in basic skills. I am going to check to make sure that all staff secured their classroom technology this week. This will be difficult with the inventory forms that were turned in this year, but hope my work this summer will help alleviate this problem next year.
Before our tech coach leaves for vacation for the next 3 weeks, we decided on the following tasks:
- Create classroom technology inventory Google docs form.
- Create lesson on Internet safety to present to teachers and students this year based on new regulations by the State.
- Update Engrade (school-wide grade portal).
- Check for security of classroom technology.
- Create Engrade tutorial for new teachers.
I am excited for the work that I will be doing over the next few weeks!
