We would like to thank schools that have successfully updated the survey information and data on your testing devices.  As of today Nov 26, the tool indicates 55% of the schools have accessed the survey and indicated a YES in the submission status.  This is a reminder for those who have not entered/updated the data that the Technology Readiness Tool will close on December 1, 2012.  Completing this task is a NC DPI requirement, so please access your account and update your data.

Principals should access the survey, edit the submission status to YES (the YES indicates you have submitted your data), enter enrollment numbers, and complete the survey questions. SKIP the technical information on the bandwidth section, it has been entered for you.

Tech Leaders should update testing device data.  Remember, sites only enter data on devices that will be used for testing.  For larger schools, it may prove useful to contact the testing coordinator to get the actual locations and devices that will be used for testing.  
Notes:  
1-  The existing device data is not complete and must be updated. 
2-  Device name should resemble brand and model number.  Ex:  lenovo TC 8183 Y5Y
3-  Location or IP - should be the actual room number where the device is located. (When using the auto populate tool it fills the IP address so edit to room number)
If you have any questions or issues contact Michelle Turnage (michelleturnage@johnston.k12.nc.us) or Christa Leverette (christaleverette@johnston.k12.nc.us).
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
