Teacher Technology
What's available?
How do I reserve it?
- You can view the technology calendar below or through this link.
- To make a reservation you have two options:
- If you no longer need the cart please remove your reservation so other teachers know it is available. Please do not erase the name of the cart.
- Do not remove a cart from the technology room without reserving it first.
- To make a reservation you have two options:
- Email Garrett (kathryn.garrett@mnps.org) with your gmail address. You will be given permission to access and make changes to the calendar on your own. Type your name beside the cart/day you would like.
- Email Garrett (kathryn.garrett@mnps.org) the cart and date that you would like to reserve. Reservations will be added in the order they are received.
- If you no longer need the cart please remove your reservation so other teachers know it is available. Please do not erase the name of the cart.
- Do not remove a cart from the technology room without reserving it first.
Accessing Carts
- You must have a master key to access the room. Peace, Goodwin, Pridy, McCord, Davis, and Rand all have master keys.
- You will receive an email that has the combination lock for the iPad carts. Please DO NOT share this information with students.
Guidelines
DO:
- Plug in all technology between classes and in the evenings (ALL CORDS - some ThinkPad carts have two cords).
- Return them every night - This is huge. You are leaving $25,000 sitting in your room overnight. Also, if you have an emergency absence, you just left the cart with a sub in your room.
- Push the door closed to the closet every time you access it. Yes it stinks to get the key, but again, they’re expensive.
- Count them when you open the cart, between every class, at the end of the day. Call Ms. Garrett immediately if any 5th/6th Grade iPads are missing. Call Mrs. Peace if any 7th/8th Grade iPads or any ThinkPads are missing. Note: iPads have fallen into the side of the cart before so make sure you check there before you panic.
- Assign students a technology number and give them that number every single time. A great way would be to print a roster, write numbers next to it, and tape it to your desk (You can use this template). This way if there is an issue we know which student used the technology.
- Put them back in the cart in # order. Each iPad has a numbered background to help make this easier. This is an easy time to make sure students did not change the backgrounds. Reviewing these expectations with students prior to use (and regularly throughout the year) is helpful to reinforce proper use.
- Send any iPad app requests to Ms. Garrett (5th/6th Grade) or Mrs. Peace (7th/8th Grade) ASAP. Carts will be updated twice a year (an email will be sent out one week prior to updates to give you a chance to submit requests).
- Send students to pick up or return carts.
- Let students push the carts, even if you are with them.
- Include technology is sub plans. For any reason.
- Have students plug in iPads or ThinkPads. It causes damage, broken cords, etc.
- Leave them in the hallway for any reason. Park them in another teacher’s room if necessary.
- Leave the room unlocked when technology is in there.
- Let students change the background (this is how we see the iPad number) or invert the colors.
- Have students use the copy machine.
