CanDo Implementation
- Key Personnel
- Administrators—Administrators play a key leadership role by understanding the benefits of the CanDo system. Working closely with their technology department to implement and support the CanDo system, will ensure a smooth transition and training experience for everyone involved.
- Technical support personnel—Technology Specialists, TRTs, and Lead Teachers provide critical system setup and ongoing support and maintenance. This is free, open source software, but as with any new technology, it may involve a learning curve.
- Teachers—When teachers understand that this system will make their jobs easier, not more complicated, they will be eager to learn and use the system.
- System Software—The Linux Ubuntu operating system software can be installed on a local server, at no cost, or a hosted server, for a small monthly fee. After the operating system software is installed and firewall settings configured, the SchoolTool-CanDo software is installed and the state-approved competencies are imported from the CTE Resource Center.
- Application Software—The appointed site administrator will configure the applications, activating a new school year and bulk loading student, teacher, courses, and section data, using the spreadsheets provided on the CanDo CTE Resource Center site.
- Browser—Teachers and administrators access the CanDo software using a Firefox Web browser installed on their computers, or from any computer with Internet access and the Firefox Web browser.
- Training—Administrators have several training options available, including teacher software training that can be used for administrator-led on site training (request a DVD or download individual training modules here), a train-the-trainer session scheduled at the CTE Resource Center, or an on site training session using a CTE Resource Center staff trainer.
