Microsoft 10 Update
During the summer, the Technology Department will be updating all of the computers in the District with the following software:
- Windows 10 Operating System
- Microsoft Office 2016
- Smart Notebook Version 16
There is a lot more functionality with these programs though the look and feel of the programs have not changed drastically. We want to make sure that everyone has plenty of time to experience the upgrades to the programs listed above. Therefore we will be installing a couple of computers in the teacher's faculty lounge in each building in the beginning of May. These computers will have the Windows 10 operating systems installed along with Microsoft Office 2016 and Smart Notebook Version 16 ( We are currently working with Smart for trial licences of version 16, as soon as we have the licences we will install it on the test computers). The computers will be available until the beginning of June for anyone in the buildings to use and experience all of the new upgrades. We will have "cheat sheets" available on Google Drive that will be shared with all staff during this time. Also, Keith will be available as well. During the Summer and Fall we will look to implement Professional Development for these upgrades as well.
