Tech Squad To The Rescue





      The Galena Park ISD Technology Department introduced the Tech Squad
      this past semester at each elementary, middle, and high school campus.
      The Tech Squad is a group of students selected from each campus to
      provide first-line troubleshooting support to students and staff who have
      encountered a technical problem with a school-issued Chromebook. There are
      currently 240 students participating in this program across the District.

      Students in Galena Park ISD are issued
      Chromebooks as a part of the 1:1 technology
      initiative implemented last year. When technology
      issues arise with these devices, students and staff
                           are able to consult with a
                              student Tech Squad member
                                to troubleshoot technical
                                 issues. More often than
                                 not, the issues are resolved
                                with Tech Squad support.

                                 The Tech Squad has
                                      given students hands-
                                        on experience                               MacArthur Elementary Tech Squad
                                         with technology
                                         support and an
                                         opportunity to refine
                                         soft skills, such as
                                         communication,
                                         teamwork,
                                        listening skills, and
                                       resourcefulness.

                                    We are excited to see
                                    our students engaged
                                   in experiences that will
                                    open opportunities for
                                    them in the years to
                                    come!
