Future PD.  As I plan my 2018-2019 calendar, what PD would you like?  Or, Boot Camp topics?  Take just a minute to let me know HERE.

Google Home.  Amazon Echo.  Apple HomePod.  BEFORE YOU consider purchasing one of these, please note that they DO NOT currently connect to the CUSD Wifi system in any capacity.  Our IT team is working on a safe/viable workaround to make this happen, but as of now, it is not an option.  If you have a HotSpot with your cellular plan, that is an option.  You can utilize your own data to connect this tool.  But, our system does not allow devices in the absence of a username and password protocol.  When I get updated information, I will push that out to you.

Computer Backup.  The other day I encountered these lovely screens on my computer.  Have you ever had that moment where you ask yourself, “When did I last backup my computer?  Can I teach well tomorrow if I don’t have those files?”  Luckily, some of our CUSD computers backup automatically—not all, but some.  Personally, I back up all my files on Google Drive as well just in case this ever happens.  Check to see if your computer is constantly backing up to OneDrive.  And, if you haven’t, drop all your files into Google Drive as well.  It’s nice to have all that info stored safely in the event your computer decides to stop working.
