Technology Use at Okemos High School
I have chosen to focus on five areas of technology use in our building, but I believe there are amazing teachers using technology in many ways throughout OHS.
1. We are a ONE to ONE school! Before school even starts, each OHS students is issued their own Google Chrome Book device. Students use this device in each of their classes, they take it home each night, and they can access assignments, school info, Youtube and more from these devices.
2. Teachers use Google Classroom to deliver instruction, push notifications to students, or post important links, tips, and information to students. All teachers use Classroom and we are an official Google school. Students receive a class code on day one of class and they have access anywhere to their classroom site. Many students add Classroom to their personal devices such as phones so they have easy access anywhere.
3. Library Computer Labs! Not only do all students use a school issue device all year, they have access to four state of the art computer labs. These labs are particularly helpful because many students need to access printing services at school. Many assignments remain paperless and are turned in through Classroom only, but some assignments must be printed. The labs are helpful for trouble shooting, charging, printing or large group instruction.
4. Classroom technology set-up. All teachers are issued a laptop to use throughout the school year and over the summer. They also have document cameras and smart boards in each classroom. These tools enhance instruction at OHS.
5. Our amazing graphics and television studio lab and classroom program offers amazing opportunities to learn how to film, record, edit and produce high quality videos. They run an amazing service called the Okemos Channel and the videos and programs available highlight the amazing work done by talented students and teachers alike.
