Summer’s almost here. School computers shut down; projectors go dark; and the network takes a load off. Leverage this downtime to update, upgrade, plan, and repair—tasks you can’t perform during the school year when equipment and systems are in heavy use.
Educational technology is not a simple subject, though, and you may not know where to start or what your priorities should be. Using a professional quality control IT checklist can help. Your checklist should focus on three categories—people, IT strategy, and tech systems—and include tasks that will
- improve device and network performance;
- provide meaningful support to teachers and staff;
- prepare the IT environment for a smooth school startup; and
- ensure that your school is following a solid plan for technology integration and leadership.
For a complete list of summer quality control checks that will make your fall school start-up run more smoothly, download the “Back-to-School Tech Checklist,” an easy guide to making sure your technology is ready for the first day of classes.
