We will be posting introductions of this year's Student Advisory Council members so everyone can get to know us! This message comes from Tony Proulx, the Senior Advisor of Technology
Hello everyone.
First I would like to say thanks for coming to this corner of the internet. I hope to see some of these viewers at a StAC meeting, which is always open to everyone.
So, my name is Tony Proulx and I am the Senior Advisor of Technology. My job is to look out for any technical or other electronic issues and come up with solutions for them. This is a very important position as we are faced in society today with the “Information Age.” The term comes from the fact of a digital society exists in the USA and most of us deal with electronics in our daily lives.
For example, in a typical classroom nowadays, a teacher usually uses a SMART Board for a lesson. Students could be exploring or doing work using Smartphones or computers. Office 365 offers students ability to complete assignments anywhere with an internet connection and to use Microsoft Office even if they do not have it. Using this, teachers can now grade using the computer and not bring home hundreds or thousands of papers. The one-to-one computers, like at MCMS, all offer students to take home laptops and do their work through it. These are just a few ways that tech is used today.
The students are the ones who are “in charge,” not the adults. Without students, the school system could not survive. So, advocacy is needed to help learn how students learn best. In order to take action, there has to be a voice which delivers the problem. Contact me at proulxt3@gmail.com with any comments on anything electronic based (Agile Mind, Office 365, one-to-one computers, tablets, paperless report cards & Interims, etc.). I will happily compile them and see what students need in this field and we the students can take action to solve issues.
Keep Calm and Speak Your Opinion. This is Tony logging out…
