Building Capacity with our STUDENTS!

Makerspace 2018-2019: Year 1 Update

Makerspace Utilization

• Since its opening in October 2018

through the end of April 2019, 48 teachers have brought their classes to the Makerspace 188 times.

• During that same period, there have

been 2,562 individual student check-ins.

990 Chromebook tickets for students.

• Nearly all Chromebook tickets for

Social Media Rollout 2019-2020

In collaboration with the OPRF Communications Department, we are developing a comprehensive social media guide for faculty and staff. This guide will include:

• An Empowerment Use Statement to encourage safe

and meaningful participation on social networks.

• Guidelines for safe social media practices to

complement existing policies concerning the use of technology and social media.

• Procedures for registering and maintaining

school-related social media accounts to ensure compliance with open/public record laws.

Presentation Samples

BACKGROUND: The Library and the TLC both provide instruction on digital literacy and digital citizenship when teachers collaborate on projects, but, as of yet, there has been no way of reaching ALL students with these essential skills.

Digital Literacy English Collaboration

PURPOSE:

• Embedding digital literacy into the freshmen

English curriculum will end the need for the summer digital literacy course which has been in place for the past 3 years.

In collaboration with the Library and English Division, we are embedding our digital literacy & citizenship instruction into the freshman English curriculum beginning in the 2020-2021 school year:
