MUST READ: Spring Break Tech Checklist

Good morning all!

Here’s your Spring Break edtech checklist. Let’s wrap up before this break with these four main points.

Your classroom Check list. Every room on campus must go through the following steps to shut down all tech in their classrooms. I will be coming to every room on campus on Friday to make sure that we all are leaving our spaces a Spring Break safe zone.

First: Make sure you store all Chromebooks inside of your Chromebook cart and lock your carts.

Next: Shutdown and power off all PCs (student and teacher) in your classroom.

Don't forget: Power off your Promethean Board! (Shut down the computer first on the computer. Make sure it powers off the nook [behind the monitor]...last power off the monitor.

Finally: Make sure you power off all

remaining technology inside your classroom. This includes your projector, document camera and any printers.

Please do not leave any personal/mobile devices out in your classroom. Each classroom will receive a CLOSEOUT Checklist (it will be placed outside your door). Once completed, tape it to the outside of your classroom. I will come by to collect them (starting at 1pm) at the end of the day.

One.More.THING:
Enjoy your break! Yes. Really. That’s it. Enjoy your family, getting lots of rest and relaxation - and we will see you all after a relaxing Spring Break!

These updates are to questions that arose in the first training on March 8th. 

All answers are from Ms. Bastro--the director for INVEST for the district.

Question: Will we need to include the Artifact Reflection form(INV7) with our artifacts?

Answer: NO...once you upload the artifact and complete all sections that meets the requirements.

Question: Will we need to complete the Professional Development Log found in MyLearningPlan and complete the Professional Development Form (INV8).

Answer: Everyone must upload their PD into the forms in MyLearningPlan. There are 2 sections provided for up to 20 PD Sessions. If you need more space or sections you can upload your INV8 as an artifact. 

Also--don't forget your certificates! Those can be uploaded as well as an artifact.
