• Teacher Desktops - The majority of
teachers received new Lenovo desktop computers before school
started. These were purchased by Central Office to replace
aging computers still running Windows XP.
• Student Desktops - The majority of our
student classroom desktop computers are Dell 620's currently
running with a Linux operating system. Almost every classroom
has 6-10 student desktops.
• Chromebook & IPad Carts - Our school
received 32 Lenovo Chromebooks and 30 IPads both housed in mobile
recharging carts. The Chromebooks and IPads will be used for
TNReady testing, AR quizzes, Star testing, writing, typing
practice, research projects, and a variety of classwork in grades
K-5.
• New Ticketing System - Our school
district has a new ticketing system for faculty and staff to use if
they need technology assistance. The new support center was
introduced to streamline requests for technology help. Every
support request is assigned a unique ticket number which can be
used to track the progress and online responses to each
situation.
• Gmail - Students in grades 1-5 now
have gmail accounts to use on the Chromebooks and IPads. The
students can only use the accounts to login to their devices, email
their teachers, and other students in their classes.
