 Woohoo, you’ve made it! The summer holidays are finally here! Just like all of you, TeacherTec is going to take a well deserved break over the summer - but don’t worry, September will come around quick enough, and when it does TeacherTec will be here to help refresh your sun-soaked brain on all things Technology in education. We want to thank everybody who has been reading the website over the last 6 months, we hope that you’ve found our articles and updates useful! Have a great summer, and we’ll catch up soon! John & Peter :)
 Facebook can be used as a fantastic tool for updating friends and family with how you’re getting on in life, that is when you’re not being distracted by another cute cat video! It’s easy to end up adding a lot of personal information to your Facebook profile, most of which you may not want to be accessible by anybody who isn’t your immediate friend or family member. This is especially important to anyone working in education, as you probably don’t want your latest holiday photos to be stumbled upon by your students! Even if you’re careful about what you post online, you may not be aware that some older posts that you’ve been tagged in could possibly still be accessed by strangers. There’s a privacy setting on Facebook called ‘Friends of Friends’ that a lot of people are unknowingly using, which means that all of your photos can be accessed by anyone who is friends with one of your Facebook friends - that means that if you’re friends on Facebook with your son or daughter, all of their friends might still be able to access your profile! Read on to find out what your profile looks like to strangers at the moment, how you can ensure the what you post in the future is kept private, as well as how to make sure any of your previous posts are strictly only viewable by your specific friends! 
 As educators in Lagan College, we know that your time is precious. Finally at the end of the year, we hope that your workload is starting to lift as we head for the end of term! We want to make sure that as many people as possible have access to hands-on training sessions before we depart this year, and so we're organising an 'Upskill Week' all next week in which we'll be running the majority of sessions during school time, covering our most popular topics from this year! The training sessions are: Monday 20th - Interactive Whiteboard (3.30 - 4.30) G68, Presented by Kim Bingham Tuesday 21st - Showbie (Period 2 & 8) G29 Wednesday 22nd - Google Classrom (Period 3 & 8) G29 Thursday 23rd - iDoceo (Period 2 & 8) G29 Friday 24th - Weebly (Period 3 & 8) G29 There's no need to sign up, simply drop in to either Kim's room on Monday or John's room for the rest to get caught up with the latest technology for teachers! We hope to see you at some point during the week :)  For the past year, Lagan College has been using Meraki as tool to manage all of the iPads in our school. Whilst this has served us well, there have been concerns that we haven't been able to address using our current system.
Teachers want to be able to stop students playing games or using the camera in the classroom when they aren't supposed to be. Parents share the same types of concerns for when their son or daughter is at home. Teacher's and Parents both want more control over the iPad's, and we are finally able to provide that with our new iPad Management System - ZuluDesk. What is ZuluDesk, and how can it benefit you in the classroom or at home? Read on to find out! |
