Educational Technology Resources

This is a list of Educational Technology Resources available to staff and faculty of the AVUHSD.

As with all publicly accessible services, please make sure that the content that you load on to these servers meets District standards. Anything that you make publicly available will be scanned by search engines and could prove quite embarrassing and possibly result in disciplinary action. If you have questions about what is ok to post publicly, please contact your site's Administrative team. If you have technical questions about whether your actions will make something you post public, contact your local site technicians.
