Technology Meeting CLIU October 25, 2011

BYOD - Bring your own device. What are others doing? Open wireless system? Do they bring the phone? Policies need to be reworded. Need guest network. Schools give lists of what is recommended or accept, will support the devices. Address how phones are handled in the district. Our policy has to be clear.

Time to meet with teachers - use subs in the for day.

Replacement for Glogster?

Get each teacher to create calendar so that students can subscribe to the calendar to see what is going on, homework, etc.

Always remember, keep focused on what is good for the students and good for the teachers.

Replacing CFF laptops. If BYOD, do we need new laptops? PCs are cheaper, so what is the answer? Tech mentors important to help teachers, create collaborative environment.

Benchmark exams RTII

Filters ...what are we using, most are using the IU's filter. We are frustrated that so many things are blocked. Could we filter through grade level.M86 webfilter, can have admin account, to allow YOuTube videos to be stored in repository, no adds, does not go out to YouTube anymore. Students can also use this.

iPads in elementary, putting groups is tough in a district.

Demo lessons are a good way to help teachers...they bring the whole class to learn new technology.

"Job-Alike" to get teachers in groups for instruction.
