Welcome to Tech Orientation 2025-2026!

Welcome!

Welcome to your AA Tech Orientation page! Here, you can learn about the school-related technology you'll be using the most.

Once you have your logon credentials, you can complete the EdPuzzles! You'll find them in red in five of the boxes on this page. Each EdPuzzle gives you a video tour of that topic along, with some quiz questions to answer as you go. Be sure you've signed in to EdPuzzle with your school Google account so you get credit for doing the orientation. Please complete all five EdPuzzles before the first day of school. Thanks!

Technology Responsible Use Policy

The Responsible Use Policy (RUP) is the set of RULES you are expected to follow when you are either using AA equipment, the AA network, or AA online resources (like email or Canvas). You are also expected to represent our community in a positive way on all social media, whether it's tied to your AA account or not.

• This is the version we'll be using in TechApps. It has removed some of the more difficult language, focused on rules that apply to 6-7 students, and combined rules that apply to the same behaviors.

• Wait a couple of seconds for the page to fully load, and this link should take you straight to the correct section of the Student/Parent Handbook.

Email

Outlook 365, the AA email site, is one place you'll communicate with others. It's the best way to get in touch with your teachers outside of class. As long as you are following the Responsible Use Policy's rules, you may email your family and friends (from AA or not).

Canvas

Canvas is where you'll find all of your classwork. Every class has its own little corner of Canvas. Each teacher designs their own course, so every Canvas class will be a little different (just like classes in person!). You'll get to know them all pretty quickly.

NOTE: Your Canvas account will take a little longer to get set up than your other accounts. Once you can sign in, you won't see your Courses until the first day of school.

Google Drive

Google Drive is where you'll do lots of work for class. Google Drive is the cloud storage for files you create in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. You may be collaborating on projects with your classmates through different features of Google Drive.

Chromebooks

The Noun Project

This year, you will be issued a Chromebook to use throughout the school day and take home with you each evening. You're resonsible for keeping the Chromebook in good working condition and bringing it to school with you - fully charged - every day. You are responsible for this device 24/7, so take good care of it!
