Mission StatementEmpowering todays students for tomorrows challenges. Vision Statement Seeking excellence through character and perseverance. How does this fit in with technology? Here in good ole DPISD: Our Instructional Technology department seeks to promote student potential for reasoning, imagining, creating, constructing, and expressing with technological tools. It is our desire to be the link between the education of today and the technology of tomorrow.

NearpodKari Murphy is in the process of adding all certified teachers to the Nearpod district account. Today, you will receive a basic overview of this amazing software. You will receive credit for this morning based on your active participation in your breakout sessions. In several of the required monthly technology trainings, we will build upon learning several aspects of Nearpod and at the end of the year, you will submit a presentation of your own!! [No, you may NOT partner with another teacher, sorry. ]

Copyrighted materialIf you arent sure, look it up! DO NOT scan a document, convert to a .pdf, and publish it on your website unless you are sure. Companies and entities are looking and could sue. AVID be very careful.Link to DPISD Copyright Page (you will sign in using your username and password) South Campus technology WebsiteRequired monthly trainingsAll certified personnel (teachers, counselors, admin) must complete the required monthly trainings. Majority are online because Im awesome! Youre welcome! There are a few 2-4 that have to be face-to-face.

iPad Cart/App requests Remember you must fill out EVERY cell in the request!!! Allow at least 48 hours for free apps and 5 school days for paid apps!!! If you are constructing a large project, you must create your own gmail and Dropbox accounts. [Just create an email and account for each class and use the same password] This will ensure that you wont run out of the 5GB allowable space. If you think a project might take a day or more longer than you expect, go ahead and put in a request for that time. This will hopefully eliminate any issues where someone else has requested the cart and we need to get the iPads ready for their students. Computer lab informationPlease put reservations in at least 24 hours in advance. Remember ALL cells must be filled in! We only have three open labs now: 2343, 1241, and 1208. NO SUBS allowed in the computer labs except long term subs. Please watch your students and make sure they know not to pull out wires, no food, no drinks, etc. Report ANY issue to Cynthia or I immediately!!! We will tell you whether a work order needs to be placed. To conserve paper, students may only print 5 sheets!!! We can help you brainstorm ways to create your projects without using ink and paper! Think Green! Reviewing the ipad Wi-fi at South: use wlanYou will sign in using your teacher username and password. If it only asks you for the password, you will Forget the Network then re-connect.
