The Technology program at Medford Memorial is headed by a full-time Teacher of Technology Literacy,
Mrs. Sadlier.
Tech Support with Mrs. Sadlier
Welcome to my Tech Support! Students can email me with tech. questions or stop by the MTA with their chromebook during school hours for tech. support. Homeroom is a great time to visit with any tech. issues. Students, please remember to check your Gmail each day and to charge your chromebook when you get home. Remember to bring your chromebook to school every day.
Preventing Problems
Please remember to keep pencils, pens, and even scraps of paper away from the keyboard on your chromebook. The lcd/screens are very sensitive. Even a pencil left on the keyboard when the chromebook is closed can cause the lcd to crack and damage the device. Please be careful.
It's important to shut down your chromebook at school and restart it at least a few times during the week. This will allow your device to receive important updates. Is your device a little laggy? Close any extra tabs that are not being used to improve speed.
Only use the Dell charger that goes with your chromebook. Using a charger from another device may damage your chromebook due to a difference in voltage. Please only use the school issued charger with your chromebook.
About the Technology
Medford Memorial has two Multi-Tech rooms that are available for classes. All of our classes use Chromebooks as our building is 1:1. Medford Memorial is a GAFE school, and students create a wide variety of projects that are integrated into our curriculum. Classes attend the MTA tech lab to create projects infused with technology.
Our FAB Lab for STEM instruction opened in the September 2018 with Project Lead the Way. Tech instruction, support, and tech resources is provided to students and teachers throughout the year.
Blockly Coding classes are offered to students during the Enrichment Class Period 1. See the
Coding Page for more information and activities to do at home. Our Multi-Tech A (MTA) lab has received a grant for a 3D printer, and we are in the process of expanding our 3D and CAD instruction. We are looking forward to piloting more 3D printing and CAD lessons with classes this year.
This is my 21st year teaching at Medford Memorial Middle School. I have also taught computer science and technology in high school for a number of years and worked for IBM when I first graduated from college. I am obsessed with teaching tech and computer science and excited to teach my students and colleagues the newest apps and programs.
When I have free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our four adult children, and my two rescue dogs - Malibu and Roxie Hart. Including technology, some of my favorite things are yoga, Poconos, Disney, theater, and travel.
