Technology Showcase

  • We will still have the Technology Showcase at JCC on Tuesday, October 30.
  • Remember, the focus of the showcase is to showcase our students and how they are using instructional media and technology in the classroom to facilitate teaching & learning.  Please do not bear this burden alone.  Your role is to put feelers out there and facilitate the process which determines which teachers/students display their talents at the showcase.
  • Work with your administration to encourage staff members to stop by the Technology Showcase to get new instructional ideas.

 SMARTBoard

  • There are SMARTBoard troubleshooting guides in the Tech Leaders folder in Google Drive.  This is to help you troubleshoot at the local level before you contact your JCS technician.
  • Replacement UF 65 projectors are going out soon
  • Make sure to register new SMARTBoards for warranty purposes.  The serial number can be located  on the right side of most boards.  To register multiple boards at one time online, please go to the SMART product registration page.
