Projectors in Every Classroom

Every classroom in GCS is outfitted with a mounted LCD projector, allowing teachers to utilize the vast resources of the internet to create dynamic and engaging lessons.

Instructional Devices for Every Teacher

GCS continues to phase in iPads and AppleTVs across the district, giving teachers access to an enormous number of educational applications.  The AppleTV allow these applications to be presented directly to the projectors for classroom viewing, collaboration, and discussion.

Repairs and Software Support

Electronic technology and software sometimes seem to do mysterious things. The TRCs and Tech Associates at GCS work hard to meet the service needs of the staff and students. All staff use our web-based help ticket system to report technology issues.

Purchases and Planning

GCS technology purchases originate from the instructional or productivity needs of students and staff. Requisitions start with staff. TRCs and Techs assist staff with making sure the hardware and software requests are compatible with GCS systems. Approval from building and corporation administrators is the final step before orders are placed.
