EOY Reflection 2021 by Heather Pennica https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5 Please take just a few moments to answer these questions to help us all remember how we can make things better at EOY next year. NOW GO ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!! en-us 2021-06-07 12:23:11 UTC 2022-03-14 15:24:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Now I see why we always took up the Chromebooks before exams and then created class sets for the teachers. Even though we gave the students a deadline to return devices, I still have 180 out and have now spent 11 days doing nothing but checking in Chromebooks! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589800959 2021-06-07 12:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589800959 Everything was ok up until the end. Dealing with Chromebooks has consumed my time and I have done nothing else but CB, so this means I will be working several days without getting paid in order to finish up. Booooooo! https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589804348 2021-06-07 12:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589804348 I loved the triplicate form! https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589806569 2021-06-07 12:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589806569 Chromebook collection and testing took most of my time. I did not have time to finish inventory, weeding, or anything library related. Not sure if I will be able to clean up because I have 11 carts to collect today. I will do my best do what I can and the rest will be waiting for me in August. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589887107 2021-06-07 13:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589887107 Needs Tweaking https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589895634 Collection procedures combined with testing/retesting did not work.

Collecting all Chromebooks before testing and doing classroom carts works better.  I was doing, undoing and re-doing a lot.]]> 2021-06-07 13:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589895634 Library inventory needs to be done earlier, librarians do not need to test for retakes and make ups at the end of the year. K-2 teachers need to be pulled first. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589907192 2021-06-07 13:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589907192 I also liked the form, but next year add the teacher's name on it. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589910562 2021-06-07 13:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589910562 I checked all my CB's in, making sure that they had a full charge. I had them power them off and put in the bag sealed and then placed in the teacher's cart. The day before the test I rolled carts to the teachers that needed to retest and students checked their charge on their computers to be sure they were ready for the test the next day. After the test teachers had to look over CB's to be sure there was no damage. Kids sealed bags and placed back in the cart. I also color coded them red, yellow, and green for A, B, and C's for easy sorting later. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589922509 2021-06-07 13:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589922509 Workload https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589943256 The workload was about the same as it has always been, but there was a lot of redundancy, which created more work than necessary.]]> 2021-06-07 13:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589943256 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589950663 The forms, the additional help from Technology, and the support from my teachers that contacted parents for missing CB items/charges really helped the process.]]> 2021-06-07 13:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589950663 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589959099 Our school definitely waited until the last minute to collect CBs.  This, combined with retesting and having items still out/filtering in piece by piece, has (like said by others) caused me to spend a lot of time undoing and redoing parts of the process.

I would, ideally, collect earlier next year. However, I see a lot of pushback from the upper grades if I were to propose it.]]> 2021-06-07 13:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589959099 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589974003 Even given the last week free from classes, I was pulled for testing/retesting and then CBs took up a lot more time than I had previously planned.  I managed to mostly complete my inventory but only because I started a month in advance.  I still will need to work on everything else past today to get it done.

I think that the checklist needed to have been more evenly distributed throughout the year. ]]> 2021-06-07 13:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1589974003 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590005121 My counselor and I have exchanged quite a few words this year. It seems that our directions for CBs and the directions given to counselors/test coordinators have been at odds, at times. Perhaps we can be more in sync next year?]]> 2021-06-07 13:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590005121 The whole chromebook plan worked so well for me. The ABC sorting and the forms were so helpful. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590059208 2021-06-07 14:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590059208 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590613780 1) Admin need to be given specific instructions and expectations ahead of time for CB collection.
2) Testing instructions for CBs could maybe be more clear ahead of time. I felt like some of what I had done...needed to be undone for testing.
3) Triplicate form:  maybe have a spot for previous CB fees for students who owed money prior to collection.]]> 2021-06-07 17:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590613780 Elementary Media Coordinators cannot teach full time and operate as the device manager full time as well. Somethings gotta give! https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590689352 2021-06-07 17:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590689352 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590692133 I continued teaching up until the last day, along with testing, along with Chromebook collection, along with inventory...2 full time jobs.

]]> 2021-06-07 17:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590692133 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590694771 Bringing them all to the Media Center, assessing them, and then writing the info on tickets in the quiet of the MC worked best.  ]]> 2021-06-07 17:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590694771 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590697243 Teachers need more ]]> 2021-06-07 17:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590697243 Agree with above statement...more so with all the EOY stuff. But it is a lot....especially when principals give us other 'duties' that take our time away from media tasks. (Like tutoring during our open spots and yearbook.) I had a lot of piles this year of things that needed to get done, but weren't priority and basically kept having to be put aside. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590733476 2021-06-07 17:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590733476 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590751860 Something I did when organizing my carts after collection was over was scan the devices into a spreadsheet. Each sheet was labeled with a cart's name. If for any reason I need to located a CB I will know what cart and slot it is in. ]]> 2021-06-07 18:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590751860 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590756210 I appreciated the help from the tech team that I received. I wouldn't have completed it without the assistance.]]> 2021-06-07 18:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590756210 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590760656 It was a lot...but some of it I feel like is unavoidable...unless it is mandated that we are removed from teaching classes, testing, etc...at the end.]]> 2021-06-07 18:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1590760656 Color Coding https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1592692186 If the A-B-C labeling is going to be a thing in the future color coding dots would be nice.]]> 2021-06-08 12:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1592692186 This was also too much for me! I did, undid and redid again and my carts are a mess now that testing is over. Teachers rolled carts in and left the school while I was still testing. Taking up this late was too much! https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1596002236 2021-06-09 14:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1596002236 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606226307 There was definitely a lack of communication between MC/Technology and the school. I'm saying turn in all CB after last exam, teachers are telling students to keep devices for retesting. I still have 125 devices out, which gives me heartburn!  I liked the triplicate form. Having a place to put previous fees would be nice. This was the one time I had to see some parents and communicate about fees so I didn't want to lose the opportunity! Also, ALL devices need to be taken up before exams start next year. That will take away from some of the PTSD that I feel I am now dealing with due to never ending Chromebook collection. What? We had to turn in our Chromebooks? We kept them last summer! arrrgggghhhh

]]> 2021-06-15 00:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606226307 I truly appreciate everything you all have done to support us. It's WAYYYY more than we've had in the past! Now that we've been through one year together, maybe being a little more forthcoming about what exactly you all plan to handle/help with would be nice. Ex. You all will lock down devices.... found out AFTER I had looked up all the serial numbers. Ex. We were told to get carts ready for SS. Some did.... then we were told technicians would do it. Things like that are great... especially if we know they are going to happen! :-) https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606235141 Another one I forgot... We were told after doing the work tickets not to worry about doing the work tickets. ]]> 2021-06-15 00:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606235141 Hotspots being entered as notes did not work. When devices were checked in, we had to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to look at notes. They didn't just pop up because it was assigned to the student, not the device- and that's what we were checking in. If they get HS in the future, can SN be made up so they can be entered into Destiny as a check out? https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606239894 2021-06-15 00:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1606239894 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1612313304 I loved the form!  Thank you!! I put a form and a wipe in the plastic bags prior to collection. ]]> 2021-06-17 14:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1612313304 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1612361191 Collecting the Chromebooks so late was a nightmare! ]]> 2021-06-17 14:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/1612361191 We received dirty and/or broken Chromebooks when devices were swapped.

It was too much to do chromebook collection and teach classes. https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/2090876222 2022-03-11 17:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/2090876222 I would like another line added to the CB return form that says PREVIOUS Fees. I noticed that some of the Middle Schools were writing that on the forms and so did I. It took extra time to write Prior Fee on each.

We submit a high volume of tickets, but they are for things that are outside the control of the kids (ie trackpad is not working, keyboard is not working, motherboard is bad). Could we potentially look at the number of fines per school to indicate the overall level of damage instead of the number of tickets, etc.]]> 2022-03-11 18:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/2090899152 Add pics on EOY procedures for media so we know which is a G2, G4, etc. heatherpennica1 https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/2094096610 2022-03-14 15:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/heatherpennica1/cwicoo0idteqelq5/wish/2094096610
