Week 1 Back over.....

Ok, so it wasn't an entire week, but it sure did feel like one. We started back to staff development on August 7th as a district. I started with Bring Your Own Device training on August 4-6 in the afternoons. It is just crazy getting back into the routine of being in school. We ended it Friday with Intruder Training. If you haven't experienced that, you're missing out. We are so prepared for the just in case that ever teacher hopes is a never in their life. It was frightening, yet empowering.

BYOD Training- We learned a little about a lot of different things. I got my district issued Macbook Air, only to find out that it doesn't connect to the wifi at my school. HELP DESK.....It still didn't work when I left on Friday. I'm hoping that on Monday morning, it will miraculously work. The chromebooks that we have a supplemental devices won't connect either. It is all a process. Trying to remain patient.
