Technology Concerns: Your Digital Learning Team will be meeting Tuesday with Jeff Taylor regarding the technology in our building. Please talk as a team about technology concerns you have for THIS year AND how you would like technology distributed for NEXT year. Delia recommends all our touchscreen computers being in K-2 and our Mac Books be in 3-5. Jeff says this would change how we currently have our technology in the building. We'll also be talking about what imaging requirements are needed for MacBook Air devices for students and teachers. (What applications primarily). Finally, we will be discussing the county's "1 to 1 ratio" and what that means for Kindergarten and iPads. These decisions will impact the technology in your room for next year so if your DLT member can't attend please send another representative so your grade level's voice is heard.
Digital Learning Dayz: Digital Learning Days will occur February 25th - February 28th. Here is the county Digital Learning Dayz website with all the details on how to participate. The school with the highest percentage of participants this year will earn a technology prize worth $125/teacher or approximately $5000 for our school! If you have not submitted your ideas for what tech prize you would like NCE to compete for, please complete this survey by Tuesday morning. Your DLT team will choose the prize from this survey and submit our choice to Delia. During the Digital Learning Dayz, you will also have the opportunity to earn .3 or .5 technology CEUs! If you want to participate and/or earn CEUs, go to the website, click "participate" then click "choice board" and make a copy for yourself. The specific directions on how to use the choice boards and post your work to our school Padlet are liked in detail on that page as well. You will need time to plan and prepare for the choice board activities, so don't wait until the last minute to look at what you'll need to do. Mandy will be explaining the process to the DLT members on Tuesday, so feel free to ask you grade level rep or Mandy if you have any questions on how to participate and complete the choice board activities. Let's see if we can get 100% participation and earn that big prize!!
Consider completing a Positive Office Referral this week!

Please do not send out mass emails regarding other covering duty for you due to an absence/progressional development. We must have confirmed people out at car duty and we have been short several days due to no one answering the mass email and/or people not covering their duty. This is too important a time of day for us to hope someone sees the email and helps out. Please text a friend that doesn't have duty to switch with you and/or text Carla
