Video 2 production
In this video I will be rcording different successful African Americans. The purpose of this video is to share success stories with my students. Every year we do an assignment titled "When I grow up" and students are to tell what they want to be when they grow up. However, alot of my students have does not have big dreams. They want to work at grocery or food stores as a cashier instead of owning one. Hopefully this video will encourage them to aspire to do more.

District Data Strategies
Road blocksI have been trying to complete this assignment and have run into some road blocks. I have talked to about seven different departments. I called the data analysis dept. which did not answer. Then I call district wide records and management who told me to call the main number and ask for tech. I called the main number and they told me to to speak with communication and communications transfered me technology and technology dept transferred me to network svcs. and network svcs. transfered me to technical assistance. I spoke with one lady whose name I will not mention and she told me to talk to another guy in network svcs. So I called network scvs. again and they did not answer. Nobody seems to know who to talk to. I know how I store data in
How I save Documents: my classroom- I save things in folders and in documents and on the desktop. I learned that I should have a backup device, but I do not. The way we keep up with grades in grades 2-5 is through a system called Gradebook. I use a regular paper gradebook because pre-k-1st is not loaded into the gradebook system because we do not give numerical grades. Our grading scale consists of E,S, or N.
District- Also the district has a system called my data portal that tracks students test grade and progress. This system may be view by the teacher, but a password is required.
Attendance- Our CRC keeps up with this information. I am not sure which data management system she uses. Teachers attendance is kept in a program called Oracle that can be accessed by the teacher and is password protected
Questions: What data management backup system does DISD use to keep track of all the information- student records, teacher and student attendance?
What department handles student data?
Is prek-1st ever going to get away from paper gradebooks?
Can someone create a nemerical scale for E, S, N such as 90-100= E; 80-89 =S+; an70-79= S- and below 70 is a N. Maybe if a numerical value was attached to our grades we could use computerized gradebooks.
