Technology Thursday 9/8/21 

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! We have two quick updates for you this week.




First, MusicPlay Online has been purchased for all K-5 music teachers in the district. An email was sent to all elementary music teachers on Wednesday, September 8th with instructions for accessing their license. Since this app is just for teachers, the app is available in the staff library for them to add to their own ClassLink page if they wish for easy access.




Second, we are continuing to troubleshoot sporadic access issues with Lexia. This is primarily with high school EC and OCS courses not showing up. Thank you for your patience as we work to add additional course codes to the nightly sync with Lexia.


Lastly, we are working on a schedule for virtual training opportunities for all staff, as well as sessions specifically for our Technology and Media contacts. If there is a topic you would like to learn more about this year, please email us at digitallearning@johnston.k12.nc.us 


Have a wonderful week!

Important Information






TECHNICIAN TEAM SCHEDULE

Beginning Monday, October 5, the Technology Services Technician Team will temporarily be on a five day work week.  Their priority mission will be to support staff as they will be preparing for remote and face to face instruction.  Therefore, the tech schedule will be placed on hold until we work through start up.



Lexia has been able to find a patch that has fixed the issue with Chrome 74 and so now the Acer C720's are working with Lexia again.  



Fall Discards/Recycles  

Please read through the Technology Discards/Recycle Procedures document for important information.  Pickups will begin as soon as next week.

Clever in NCEdCloud

Beginning today staff and students should see Clever in NCEdCloud.  Clever is currently used for NWEA, Lexia and Freckle.  Please share with teachers that they need to transition students away from the kiosk apps and begin using this method to get to these applications.  

Note: We might use clever for additional apps in the future.

Lexia Kiosk option



To assist elementary schools with Lexia Core5 Reading we created an additional method to access the program. "JCPS Lexia Core5" has been added to the chromebook apps kiosk (same place you find NWEA)". Using this method eliminates the need for students logging into the chromebook prior to logging into the Lexia program. Note: each time a student completes their work it is important to click "Restart Session" at the top-left corner of the screen prior to use by another student.

This will only show up for elementary schools.

Lexia with QR Badges

Lexia for Elementary
The TLC's have been shared how to use Clever QR badges with the Lexia tool we have started this year.  It is a little on the technical side so I wanted you to have access to the directions as well so that you might need to assist some of your teachers.

Here is the document.  You can also find it in the Curriculum folder in the Tech Folder.
