From the Technology Department

Mrs. Gardner, Technology Director

Just a reminder that all students will need to have their acceptable user agreement signed and returned with a parent’s and their signature before they will be allowed to log-on to the school network.  There are some changes in the agreement, so please take time to read that carefully.  Being able to use the school’s network is a privilege, so be responsible.  A few important guidelines to remember:

ü  Do not share your password with anyone.

ü  Be responsible when on the district’s computers.  Be technology wise.

ü  Remember that you have a folder on the network to save reports and assignments.  Please save to that folder so that you can access your work from any computer.

ü  Report inappropriate behavior to your teacher or to the technology department.

ü  Remember to signoff when leaving the computer that you have been using.

This year, some of you will be asked to login to online data sites to access information.  This is something new and exciting.  You may also be asked to join a classroom blog during the school year so that you and your peers can work together on a project.  You might also be listening to more online educational podcasts and possibly even create a podcast or a video cast yourself.  Just be that responsible person so that you can use the technology tools in your education.

GREAT NEWS…New computers have been ordered for the Glassroom Lab.  They are not here yet, but should be shortly.   Please take good care of these new tools that have been purchased for your educational use.   In addition, there will be some exciting new technology tools that I’m sure that you will enjoy using.

This year, Calhan School will have a returning alumni and techie helping in our department.  Todd Ison will be here two days a week to help with technology concerns and network glitches.  Todd is a 2001 graduate of CHS.  Please welcome him back.

Hope that you kept internet safe and computer wise during the summer. See you when school begins.
