GLPS May Technology & Media Newsletter


Important End-of-Year Information

As we approach the end of another school year, the Tech Team would like to remind you of our annual updates to district devices. In order to keep our devices fresh and up-to-date, we will be applying many important updates over the summer break.
  1. ALL TEACHERS NEED TO COMPLETE THE END-OF-YEAR TECHNOLOGY CHECK-OUT FORM NO LATER THAN JUNE 14.
  2. Save any favorites and bookmarks to your home directory (My Documents) Folder or use a social bookmarking tool such as Delicious or Diigo to save them online.
  3. Make sure all items on your desktop are saved in your home directory.
  4. If you have any unique programs installed on your computer, please note that you may have to re-install them when you return in the fall. 
  5. All district-owned laptops and netbooks will need to be turned in by the end of June for essential updates.
  6. If you have anything saved on the shared drive, please back it up to an alternate location as it will be cleared - the Shared Drives are only temporary holding places and content stored on them is not backed up on district servers.
  7. Register for Rebel U if you have not done so already.  If you do not register before the end of the school year, you will need to register the day of and will have limited session options.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding any of these items, we are happy to help!

And for your viewing enjoyment - a promo video for Rebel U (link to video can be found here).
