Computer Lab News
We do not have regular classes scheduled for the computer lab the last week of school because I will be collecting and storing equipment for end of year technology inventory.
My plan is to leave the projector, Elmo, and one teacher desktop in each classroom. You will keep your teacher laptop for work and training over the summer.
In August, each classroom teacher will get 8 new student devices (Dell Chromebooks or Samsung Tablets). These new devices are intended to replace the old computers we currently have (all of our computers are over 5 years old). I will coordinate with each teacher on what they want to do with student computers and carts for next year.
I would like to collect most of the computers in the computer lab for updates and repair. Our area desktop support technician will be working in the lab over the summer on our netbooks, desktop computers, and ipads. He will fix all that he can and we will retire any that are not working.
Please contact me if you have any questions. -James
