Tech Tips
Volume 5
Happy New Year from the Tech Team!
Each year people make resolutions to help them lose weight, volunteer to help others, save money, take a trip, etc. This year the tech team is challenging you to create a resolution about how you can integrate technology into your class. If you are already implementing technology into your classroom, what can you do to improve your classroom instruction? If you are not using technology at all, what can you do to start engaging students? What can you do to improve your technology integration as a teacher to engage your students in their learning?
Tweet your resolution to #jfdtechresolutions and share with your peers what your plans are for 2014!

Awesome Tech Tips
This week... A quick reminder on how to connect to a network printer. This tutorial is designed to go along with Bob's video on the copy room release station.
ATT5 Connecting to Network Printers
Copy Room Release Station
A new release station is available for teachers to send print jobs to in the copy room. To learn how to send a job to the copy room, view the video below. There are a few items to consider when sending a job to the copy room:
- A job that is sent to the release station will only stay in the release que for two hours.
- You must add the printer as one of your printer choices.
- Ensure that you select the options you need for each job (Ex.- staples, double-sided, etc.)
