Digital Delivery
December 2016
Please remember to SHUT DOWN your computer and all student iPads before Christmas Break. Also, DO NOT leave iPads plugged into chargers over the break. We DO NOT want the iPads left charging for 16 days straight, as this will not be good for batteries. Leave iPads unplugged from chargers and locked in carts. iPads can be connected to chargers upon return on January 2, in preparation for students on January 3.
It's not too late to join in the Tech-mas FUN!
Merry Techmas 2016!

Virtual Chat with Santa
For the third year, TCEA is thrilled to be able to bring Santa Claus down from the North Pole to our world headquarters in Austin to chat virtually with students. On December 12 from 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. Central, we invite you to join us via any device with a web browser and talk with Father Christmas. He’ll read one of his favorite Christmas stories, give an update on things happening with Mrs. Claus and the elves, drink some hot chocolate, and then answer holiday questions submitted in advance and live from children (and adults!).
This LINK TO THE EVENT will be made live on December 12th. Just tune in on the 12th at 2:00 if you would like to participate, no registration necessary. Find more info and submit your own questions for Santa to answer HERE.
