Teacher Data Back-UP
***If you have a desktop that is from the stone-age, there is a very good chance that it will be removed this summer and not replaced. We will begin the process of removing outdated technology. (The district expectation is to use your Macbook)
Teacher-New Macbooks
Remember...Have your technology ready for district inventory!
Teacher Technology Inventory
The technology team must undergo a complete district audit of all technology. This will include all document cameras, MacBooks, desktops, IPads, etc...
The technology team will go into every classroom on May 24th and 25th to audit all equipment. (We have been asked to layout all technology pieces so the team can come by and log serial numbers and get accurate counts. Items stored in closets will need to be accessible as well.)
***I will explain in more detail at the faculty meetings.
Teacher Contracts
Contracts will be distributed by Central Administration on May 16th. Contracts must be signed and returned to Mrs. Knight no later than May 23rd by 3:00 pm.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to see me.

Professional Development
TIA-Denton (July 19th and 20th)
Welcome to TIA, North Texas' premiere technology and curriculum conference!
As the scope of technology expands in our society, so too does it expand in the classroom. Technology in the classroom is no longer limited to slideshows viewed from a projected computer, or trips to a computer lab to type a paper. Technology has woven its way into daily life in a way that is inescapable. It is the responsibility of schools to prepare students for continuing education and careers in an increasingly digital world.
TIA has one simple goal: Provide an opportunity for hundreds of educators to explore innovative and effective ways to serve their students by fusing technology and curriculum into one, cohesive unit. This moves students toward mastery of concepts and skills. When utilized effectively, technology can promote a classroom that provides students with content knowledge alongside the intangible skills of effective communication, content creation, collaboration, and critical thinking. Each of these skills can be applied in creating success beyond the walls of a school building.
Join us in critically thinking about our technology pedagogy and practices through communicating and collaborating with like-minded educators. Take what you learn at TIA and create learning experiences for your students that will stay with them for a lifetime. We look forward to seeing you there!
