DALC Technology Update Fall 2014

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another great year of learning at DALC! Here is the latest information about technology available for your classroom.

Computer Literacy Classes


Computer Literacy Classes are due to start the week of September 29th.

There are also flyers available on the credenza in the Dover hallway. Please let your students know of this opportunity and I'm also happy to stop by your classroom, talk about the classes, and answer any questions. The fall classes are beginner level and are offered on Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings.

Please let me know if students have any other needs or requests for particular computer classes or for different days/times. My plan is to offer beginner and intermediate computer literacy classes as well as keyboarding classes this year. I can offer them mornings, afternoons or evenings, based on student interest. Please let me know what the needs of your students are. Thanks!

Projector Carts


We have a wide selection of carts with projectors and document cameras in the classrooms, as well as the 8-laptop cart. Please let me know if you would like me to give you a tutorial on their features - I'm happy to meet with you anytime - just let me know!

iPads


Teachers with DALC iPads - if you want me to take off your cover and clean your iPad and check it for updates, please let me know or drop it off with me sometime and I'll take care of it.

Also, the latest iPad operating system is being released soon - iOS 8. Please DO NOT upgrade to this version yet. I'll be testing the new iOS to see what the changes are and the compatibility with our current apps and will let you know when it's ok to update.

DALC Tech Website


I  continue to update the DALC Tech website  throughout the year with useful articles, tutorials, equipment instructions,  notes from conferences and workshops, and lessons ideas using technology. The address is:

DALCTech.wikispaces.com

The first page always contains a “What’s New” section, listing the latest updates to the site.  You can also subscribe using the form on the left-hand sidebar or click the following link  to receive updates in your email box.

Subscribe to DALC Tech News by Email

Periodically I send an all-staff email blast with major DALC technology updates, but I add individual items to the web site more often, so subscribing to the site is the fastest way to see these updates.



As always, if you have any technology needs or questions, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to help!

Thanks!
Tiffany
