Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year!
Techie Tuesday for Google Certification
Milan is a GAFE, Google for Education School. As part of our approach to ensuring we are giving our students the best opportunities. We are creating a cohort of teachers that are determined to become Google Apps experts. This cohort will meet twice a month to learn about Google Apps and then ultimately take the Google Certification tests. My idea is to have a group at the Elementary and one at the Middle/High School. Tentatively the elementary would meet the first and third Tuesday after school and the Middle/ High School would meet the second and fourth Tuesday. (I'd like to survey those that are participating to come up with the best schedule for us to meet) If you are interested in committing to being a part of this group, please click on the link below to sign up. I have also included a link to the Google training site. We already have quite a few teachers that signed up last year expressing interest in getting their certification.

These students are scheduled to during all seven periods this year with at least one of them available per period. They will be assisting with the student Fsticket. This year students will create Fstickets the same that staff members do. When a student has a Chromebook issues, instead of sending them out of the class. The students will fill out an Fsticket. Then a tech tribe member will come to the classroom to assist them. If they can't fix the issue, they will provide a loaner Chromebook to the student. This will ensure that student learning is not disrupted by leaving classrooms.
