Technology update: May 5, 2015

CTE is getting some new carts to help with testing. Of course as soon as we get those we are informed by DPI that all online testing has been discontinued for CTE for the rest of the year. The CTE exams will be the traditional pencil and paper type.

The demand for computer resources is going to be extremely high due to teachers getting students ready for those online EOC's and NCFE's. Virtually all of our state exams are online now.

Fortunately, at Cleveland we are positioned pretty well for this due to our purchasing of chromebooks over the last three years. These are by far the most cost effective way to get students online and provide them access for research. Please keep in mind that we have to be diligent in taking care of these delicate machines.

Accidents do happen but...

By modeling proper use of the laptops and chromebooks we can send a positive signal to our students that they can follow and help extend the life of the Chromebooks in particular.
