<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a reminder regarding the email sent May 8 regarding the move from Appraise to Eduphoria:<br /><br />All evaluations that were conducted in Eduphoria have been uploaded to the earliest school year in your Standards for Success (SfS) account. Information from Workshops has not been moved. If you want to archive your Workshop records or believe any evaluations are missing, you will be able to go into Eduphoria until May 31 and upload them into SfS, or make an appointment with the PDC staff for help transferring any missing documents. <br /><br />Here are brief <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ws6GwZleimJa-pMUnjpK_xkhXKscbrF3MucJPeXL_mk/edit?usp=sharing">instructions for viewing the imported documents in SfS</a>.<br /><br />The following links provide instructions on how to archive archive digital copies of your records from<a href="https://docs.google.com/a/d219.org/document/d/1jzKSHc6GT3UqFSTzAjCp8hZSTAsLK0y74rfY-U9Joho/edit?usp=sharing"> Appraise</a> or<a href="https://docs.google.com/a/d219.org/document/d/16cxyPwBeL1qvc3ENEZR-RdL_EOUwQmG4sJju-3x6jlo/edit?usp=sharing"> Workshop</a>.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Phil Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17295225841002021279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462548736600651211.post-62600507735570133272018-05-21T13:19:00.000-05:002018-05-21T13:28:16.600-05:00Teacher Laptop Pilot<span id="docs-internal-guid-3388faf8-83ea-75c9-de5d-c3fa23b6ae0f"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TCSI members have been busy testing laptop computers during the second semester. The initial pilot included six teachers in each building testing convertible laptops (think a laptop flipping into a tablet) that can wirelessly project to the classroom LDC projector. As the pilot expands into next year, the setup will include a docking station in teachers’ offices and classrooms to preserve access to a hard-wired connection, the full size monitor, keyboard and mouse. Rooms in each building are being identified and will be updated as necessary. We will be reaching out to the teachers in those rooms as schedules are finalized to set times to work with the devices as they become available.</span>Phil Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17295225841002021279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462548736600651211.post-83441352527377483702018-05-21T13:15:00.003-05:002018-05-21T13:30:47.011-05:00Jump In!: PDC Summer Learning<h3>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; white-space: pre-wrap;">Support ends Dec. 11th, 2017 and the product will be shut down March 12, 2018. It’s much faster and uses virtually no disk space.

If you have used the desktop Drive app, you’ll be amazed at how much faster and more efficient this is. Whether you’ve been using Drive desktop, or you’ve never heard of it, give Drive File Stream a try. You’ll be glad you did! </span></div>
