Tips from School Data Tech Leads

TOPIC: INCREASING TECH CHECK COMPLETION

Source: Phil Williams, SDTL at Sankofa United, Edna Brewer, Oakland Tech


Sankofa United: Leveraging After School programming

  • More than half the students are in After School

  • Phil labels devices and checks each out in Aeries

  • After School staff give the devices to an adult who has to sign the child out for pick-up in the afternoon

  • For students not in After School, Phil coordinates with the Teacher about the best pick-up method, which is often at the end of school traffic circle pickup

Edna Brewer: Leveraging Advisory

  • Advisory is 4 days a week (M,T,TH,F)

  • Phil labels devices and checks each out in Aeries

  • Devices are brought to the Advisory teacher to provide to the student

  • Phil follows up with teacher to confirm distribution

Oakland Tech: Leveraging Advisory

  • Advisory is twice a week (W,F)

  • Phil labels devices and checks each out in Aeries

  • Devices are brought to the Advisory teacher to provide to the student

  • Phil follows up with teacher to confirm distribution

Phil also sends a message to each family so they know the device is available for pick-up and directs them to the multi-language OUSD Offsite Loan Agreement. They each get a copy of the OUSD Offsite Loan Agreement in English and Spanish attached to the device.

Troubleshooting Support for SDTLs

Surface Laptops

The Microsoft Surface Laptop is provided to teachers by the district. To receive a laptop, email the helpdesk and request a Surface Laptop. A helpdesk team member will reach out to you for further information and will schedule an appointment for you to pick up your laptop. You must have an OUSD email address.


Visit our Teacher Central Surface Laptop webpage to familiarize yourself with your new device, your responsibilities to protect student data, and responsible use of the internet. The Surface Laptop runs the Windows operating system.

Aeries Editing Access for SDTLs

SDTLs will now have access to Aeries to be able to scan devices!

For SDTL's who are teachers they have additional accounts created for them. They will need to login with the aeries sign in (not with the Google sign in). See screen shot for what Aeries sign in looks like. The username is firstname.lastname and pw: first initial+lastname.

If you are not a teacher, SDTLs will login with Google. This has already been set up as no additional accounts had to be created.
