Summer 2023 edition

Welcome to Tiger One, the online collection of K-12 technology resources that can be integrated into any classroom.

Google Classroom- Clean Up Before You Go

At the end of each school, it is important for teachers to ARCHIVE (not delete) any classes that aren't wrapping around to the following year. This isn't just an important step for the digital classroom organization for teachers, but it is critical for students as well.  Why? Because students are no longer able to unenroll or archive their own classes. Don't worry, all of the information and assignments will be saved, and be "Re-used" next year, it's just that the class is hidden from view. ~AO

Teacher Computers

Laptops: If you are taking your laptop home over the summer, make sure you fill out this form as part of your building's end of year procedure (only needs to be filled out once). 

Other Classroom Technology: Chromebooks, chargers, documents cameras, portable DVD drives, etc, should remain locked up in your classrooms over the summer. 

Desktops: Teacher desktops are nearing end of life (both functionally and for security). They operate at about 1/10 of the performance of your teacher laptop, which was purchased to replace your desktop. The technology department can no longer support desktop repairs. So, you should begin thinking about and preparing for how your classroom might be setup without it. If you are still using a teacher desktop as a workstation, it would be a good idea to backup your files to your Google Drive. Here's how. ~AO
