Google Level 1 Bootcamp
We are working with EdTechTeam (they produce the Google Summits) on doing a Google Certified Educator Bootcamp for our teachers. The Bootcamps are preparatory courses for teachers who want to move forward and become officially Certified in Level 1.
Teachers, coaches, and/or administrators who sign up will be given the royal treatment for the day as they discover new material and prepare for their exams. Support is also given after the Bootcamp as the attendees are studying for the exam. EdTechTeam’s presenters will stay in contact via email and a G+ Community to make sure everyone is taken care of.
We are offering a Level 1 Bootcamp and we are opening registration to anyone who would like to attend. If you are interested in learning more, go to //edtechteam.com/bootcamps and you can get all the information. The cost for each participant is $299.00
EdTechTeam Bootcamps have a registration site for our event at: nvite.com/EdTechTeam/zjvjgy or you can pay by Purchase Order by contacting tara@edtechteam.com.
The Lenovos are coming! The Lenovos are coming!
At the Board Meeting of April 24, the Sweetwater School Board approved the purchase of Lenovo laptops for 11th grade, thus continuing our commitment to deliver 1:1 devices for all of our students. Therefore, in 2017-18 our high schools will utilize personal devices for all students from 9th to 11th grade with the intention of adding seniors in the 2018-19 school year.
I encourage all of our SUHSD teachers and community to review our EdTech 3 year plan (draft) to see where we are heading with technology integration. Feel free to use the comment button on the Google Doc to share your thinking and ideas. Here is a portion of that plan that includes our goals in 3 areas.
This plan will be supported by Professional Development from the EdTech department and site created Professional Development designed by Site Tech Teams consisting of an Assistant Principal, Blended Learning Specialist, Librarian and two other classroom teachers.
SUHSD EdTech Vision
EdTech is about Learning! Technology is ubiquitous AND invisible as air.
Students will gain content mastery and essential life skills through active engagement in pedagogically diverse environments. They will communicate their understanding in authentic and creative ways.
