Technology upgrades lead to difficulties

Roseville High School joins other schools within RJUHSD in a recent switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This update to a newer Microsoft operating system created difficulties in classrooms that use Smart Boards due to software compatibility issues.

There are multiple versions of Smart Board software used at RHS and several classes lost access to their Smart Boards for as long as a week while the technology department worked to fix issues that followed the shift of operating systems.

Math teacher Chaudra Wood uses her Smart Board daily and had to find alternate ways to deliver her material after her Smart Board stopped working.

“I use my Smart Board every day for every lesson so I had to switch over and use some other resources and technology to make sure that I was still able to get my lessons done,” Wood said.  

Changes such as these presented no lasting effects but proved to be a hassle for Wood in her teaching.

“It was just inconvenient in general,” Wood said.
