[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-MCPS needs to train the teachers first;
-MCPS needs to manually adjust chromebooks for those who do not have access at home.  My limited understanding is they are connected to the chargers and MCPS System at the school, not as simple as take it home and use a hotspot.  Each one that goes home needs a manual adjustment first;
-Figure out how to get special ed services online for those who need them. Won't be as good as in person, but neither  will the education the non 504/IEP kids are getting.
-Continue to improve as time goes on.  Don't give up, don't quit, keep on getting better!

We all know MCPS doesn't roll things out well.  I don't expect this to go any better, but hopefully it will get better as time goes on and teachers and students become more comfortable with the new normal of online education.  We ALL need to be patient.  I am one of MCPS biggest critics, and I want them to get this right.  They won't, and we, the parent community, need to give them a chance to fix as they go.  It will take time and a lot of effort from our teachers, who may have children of their own to work with in addition to the 166,000 public school students.[/quote]

The Chromebooks are stored in carts and the chargers are in those carts, but can be removed and sent home with the Chromebooks. It will take some time to “free” the chargers, but all you need is a screwdriver.

Every student has a school email account, so they have access as long as they have an internet connection. Some ISPs are offering free two-month connections.

Teachers want to get moving on this, but we too are awaiting instructions.

Hogan is going to order a lockdown, like NY, on Monday, I believe. Press conference is scheduled.
