Summer Tech PD
Happy New Year!
For those involved in education, fall time is our new year and we are ramping up for the whirlwind that is September.
When it comes to the ICT Department, my technicians have been hard at work ALL summer:
- preforming maintenance on all infrastructure and hardware
- inventorying and setting up new equipment
- setting up classrooms
As we approach the end of August, we are also preparing for our summer PD series which will include:
- August 29th – Secretarial PD
- all building secretaries from across the division
- Updates to PowerSchool, Office 365, shared calendars, and more
- August 30th-31st – New Staff Mentorship
- Distribution of MVSD devices
- Login and navigation of division platforms
- August 30th – Getting the Most Out of OneDrive
- Everything you need to know to navigate and utilize the features of our cloud-based file system, OneDrive
- August 31st – Individualized Tech Support
- Designed to provide individualized support for your specific tech goals
- August 31st – Microsoft Teams
- A review of the Teams platform, including new features added over the summer
- An emphasis will be placed on the Assignments feature and the use of Teams to support blended learning
Even though this time of year is BUSY (I almost always lose my voice after going straight from summer to a week of using my “teacher voice”) I LOVE seeing our staff and sharing new and exciting tech tips to help them with their classroom goals.
What are you doing to prep for the upcoming school year?
