Bright Bytes Survey Tomorrow during Homeroom
There is a QR code and a short URL for them and they can use their own devices to take the survey.
For kids without a device: If you have a kid or two without a device, please send them with a pass to the library to take the survey. Please do not send more than 2. If someone in your department wants to have a cart so that kids can come borrow a laptop to take the survey, you are welcome to do that; there is lots of equipment available tomorrow that you may reserve. Anyone who is unable to take the survey tomorrow during Homeroom is welcome to come take it in the library during Mega Lunch as well. Please make an effort to have as many kids as possible take the survey DURING homeroom.
Teachers and administrators, your survey can be found at http://www.BByt.es/CC4PT (see button below) it would be easiest probably for you to take it tomorrow, but any time you can take it this week would work. If you want to take it today, have at it!
Why take BrightBytes? The results from BB are used to make campus and district wide decisions about technology and training. I can assure you that the results are pulled out frequently and discussed in relation to plans for equipment and program implementation. With the district preparing to spend quite a bit of money on Technology following the TRE and Bond, the results of this survey will be especially important. Thank you for your help with this!
