Why do I have my device(s)?
The school device(s) (laptop, tablet, combination of both) issued to you are funded through the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) grant. MLTI was the first 1:1 program in the country and is still the nation's largest program of its kind. The goal of the grant is to provide you and your students with compatible technology to increase the number of learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom.
The device(s) are meant to play a significant role in both your planning and instruction. They are preloaded with software the state and district have identified as solid foundational tools for your use in the classroom. If you would like additional software on your device, please contact the school or district IT director for further instructions.

What should I do with it?
For school assigned tasks like grading, attendance, and incident reporting, all teachers are expected to use their device as outlined in the staff handbook (or whatever else your district uses). Beyond the mandatory tasks, all teachers will use their device(s) differently. You are given the flexibility to use your device(s) as a tool to create relevant and engaging content for your students. |

Social Media
- The power of social media cannot be denied. However, communicating with students using personal social media accounts can lead to compromising situations. If you prefer to communicate with students and parents using social media platforms, it is highly recommended that you create professional/school accounts. It is also recommended to communicate with administration and the technology staff before adding, following, or communicating with students or parents.
- You must have written parental permission to post any picture with/of a student to personal social media accounts. The school’s media release(s) does not cover personal accounts.
- We recommend waiting until students have graduated before adding or following them on social media.
- Pressing “like” on a post is considered speech.
- Privacy settings are not guaranteed to keep your information away from students and parents.
