New Creation


Due to some Wireless coverage issues that we have been dealing with at some schools, I decided to create a wired mobile cart "Prototype". The cart uses 1 computer tower and 3 Virtual Terminals to provide 4 working stations. This unit has been delivered to Pine Glen for testing. If all goes as planned, then we'll hopefully see alot more of these wheeling around your schools.

How Do I Do That? - Tuesday, November 10


The November session of the How Do I Do That? program will be held on Tuesday, November 10 in the B10 Computer Lab at Marshall Simonds. The session will be open from 2:00 to 4:30pm.

The November session will feature the new Burlington Public Schools BLINK system. BLINK is a new web based network system for all BPS teachers, staff, and students. The cloud system will allow staff and students access to important software programs, documents, and email from any computer or mobile device that has an internet connection.

Participants in the November session of How Do I Do That? will be introduced to BLINK, learn about the log in process, and learn how to access software and documents. Open Office programs will also be introduced.
