Digital Learning News Brief
January 6, 2015
Happy New Year!
Beginning in January, the Technology Department will be busy deploying staff iPad devices and classroom technology at identified campuses. We will also be updating infrastructure in order to expand wireless coverage and boost network speed. These technologies will be the first visible signs of BISD Bond dollars at work for staff and students.
With new technology comes new possibilities! Below are two resources for your thoughtful consideration.
Tweeting Continues in 2015
Start the new year off by resolving to join us every Tuesday evening from 8:00-8:30 PM for Digital Learning's Twitter Chat.
Tonight we will discuss the following questions in relation to Digital Learning for yourself and/or your students:
- What was the biggest challenge you faced in 2014?
- What was your proudest moment in 2014?
- What do you want to improve in 2015?
Project Innovate: More Classes Coming Soon!
The response for the first five iPad training sessions for staff was overwhelming. The classes filled up quickly. If you were not able to register for one of the sessions, there are more opportunities coming soon. Project Innovate iPad minis will be purchased in large quantities as bond funds allow for all staff and there will be training sessions weekly through the spring and summer months.
The next Project Innovate classes will be announced in an edition of the Digital Learning News soon!
