Attention Middle High School Teachers! In an effort to be more green and save some trees, we have moved the Lab Usage Forms to an online form located here:

Please complete a form for each period you use the lab within one day. We have done away with the seating chart, so keep track of who sits where on your own. If you have any questions, please email Michael.
Google Moderator makes it easy to gather and prioritize questions or opinions on any topic from a group of people.
Please take a moment to participate in the following: “What is your most pressing question about technology in our district?”
You need to have a Google Apps account to use this feature. You will need to sign in with your sapublicschools.com account after you click the above link.
If you are interested in an account, please fill out the form here.
Keeping group discussions or Q&A sessions focused on important topics can be difficult. Google Moderator will help keep things on track by allowing users to both suggest questions and vote on others’ questions.
Everyone has a chance to propose questions and the questions are collected in one place. Users can individually vote up or down on the questions they feel strongly about. Questions can then be addressed in popularity order, providing the best chance to answer the questions that the audience cares the most about.
It is flexible enough to be suitable for anything from a lecture to a team meeting or as a research tool to gather popularity-ranked feedback.
Be sure to stop by the District Tech Blog for the latest posting.
And don’t forget to stop back often to get the latest in tech news, not just for the District, but the world.

Throughout the week you might see a program running on your computer entitled “Symantec Endpoint Protection”. This is an upgrade to the district anti-virus software that I am installing on your computers.
Don’t worry or panic, just let it install. It might also ask you to restart your computer. Please restart when you have a chance.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email.
