1. AUGUST 25, 2015 TECHNOLOGY & DATA WORKSHOP:

2. WINDOWS 10 WINDOWS 10 – don’t do it, yet! (Windows 10 is a free upgrade from Windows 7 and 8.1) I am waiting to see how the Smart Board software vendor responds – will the software be a “pay as you go?”

3. RRC Technology Acceptable Use Policy for Students & Staff – Link #4 on rrcnet.org We had a very good year in regard to breakage of Surface tablets (almost none) Monetary remuneration will be sought for damage necessitating repair or replacement of equipment. I see no need to charge students a “rental fee” as other districts are implementing…….

4. SURFACE TABLETS Tablet usage during 2014 – 2015 school year = very little breakage – haven’t seen a need for the families purchase insurance Tablet usage during 2015 -2016 = continue sending grade 9 – 12 tablets home depending on need and faculty assignments

5. ONEDRIVE formerly called SKYDRIVE is a file hosting service that allows users to upload and sync files to a cloud storage and then access them from a Web browser or their local device. detailed explanation found under Link #1 on rrcnet.org (speaking of the home page….did anyone notice the new picture rotation?)

6. Watermelon Days 2015
