Job Interview question that students or adults may not be aware they need to answer.

I found this short brief article from Forbes about interview questions. If you need a conversation starter for class this might be helpful.

Three Interview Questions you need to be able to answer

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.

Tech Update Week of April 13-17

Cleveland Tech Update
Tuesday April 14, 2015

Good Morning Followers, 
Believe it or not we have about six weeks of school remaining. 

• Room 209 OkiData Printer is out of order. It needs a roller in the top output. If we are lucky we can use the OkiData Printer in room 210 that is being used for parts to fix it. Otherwise we are done with that printer. 

• Please remember to be diligent with taking care of our computers especially the one's that go out everyday on the carts. These are critical elements to our testing success at this school. 

• We are experimenting with the chromebox concept in the media center. A chromebox for those of you that don't know is the a media box that uses chrome OS to connect to the internet. This functions similar to a chromebook but connects to a regular monitor, keyboard and mouse. 

• These are located near the back glass door heading out to the Media Center Courtyard if you want to check them out. 

• Lastly, I have created a feedback from for when you call us for Tech Support. You will get a an email after I come to your room for a service. Please fill this out and if you have any suggestions on how we can improve please, please, please let us know on the form.  

Thanks and have a great week!!
