Technology Portfolios

teach

All K-5 teachers have been tasked with keeping a teacher technology portfolio each 9 weeks marking period.  Some great questions have come about as a result.  Attached you will find two documents that will assist you in your quest for completion of the portfolio.  The first is a handout created by David Clough, a fellow ITRT.  It will let you know the capabilities of 10 of our most popular programs.  The second document is a program list that mirrors the teacher documentation form.  Here you will find a list of each program that can be used to fulfill requirements listed on the documentation page, a ‘Cheat Sheet’ if you will.  Please feel free to share these documents with your teammates and friends from other HCPS schools.

Updated AUP for HCPS Employees

As we go into the new school year, it is always good to refresh yourself with the latest changes in job requirements. The Acceptable Use Policy is not new, however in this fast paced, 21st Century world certain pertinent details have been added and modified to account for the quickly changing digital world. As a HCPS employee, it is your responsibility to be aware of the policies you are expected to adhere to each year. In an effort to make this process easier, I have made a pdf of newest version of the AUP for download. If you would like to read the document online, click the link below and you will be directed to the county page for Policies and Regulations. Click on 4) Personnel and scroll down to R4-06-013.
