By the time you read this, the school year will be underway. I am excited about all of the advancements that are taking place in world of technology integration.  Our district is currently making improvements to the Internet and Infrastructure. Anytime a major upgrade occurs there are some minor bumps along the way, so please be patient while these things are being worked out.

It is important to remember that the Helpdesk cannot solve a problem if they do not know it exists. Please submit a repair ticket into the system by emailing Helpdesk@wfisd.net. You may follow the status of the problem by registering with the Parature system that has an icon on your desktop launcher. It is easy, your email is your login and your default password is “wfisd”.

There have been some minor upgrades and enhancements to the system over the summer. All of the changes were made from suggestions by other teachers in order to improve the overall usability of the product.

Technology Integration

Please remember that we are here to support you in the integration of technology into your classroom. Give us a call if you have an idea or request.

Once again, Have a great new year.

Technology is Exciting

I’ve been using internet technology since I became aware of it in 1994 or so. The first experiences I had was with the Texas Education network called TENET. It was totally text based in those days. I also used Compuserve and AOL. The compuserve did not have the local modem service that AOL in my area.  Computer graphics were very basic.

 Ever since those early days, I have been trying to find ways to use technology to help improve by teaching or at least make my job easier. I was a band director, using the computer as a communication tool helped to make things go smoother.

This blog was created for you. Use it to communicate what you have learned. Use it to teach yourself.

Remember, Technology is a piece of Cake!
