Media/Tech Updates

 IMPORTANT REMINDER! 

ALL resources that a student uses at school (or for school) MUST be Approved or Allowed on the Digital Resource Product Library. 

Personal emails for students ARE NOT APPROVED and are a safety risk. Please remind your students of this. All students have a WCPSS issued email for school use. If you're interested, I'm happy to do an email best practices review with your students. Contact me to schedule a time.  

Connectivity Issue

We are aware that students with personal devices are having difficulty with connection at school. Tech services advises having the student use "Guest" mode on Chrome. Unfortunately, finding Guest mode is different for each device. Until we get more info from WCPSS, please help your students try to use Guest mode. If you need help problem solving email me and I'll make a time to come to your room. 

**If you figure this out and would be willing to share your solution, please email me (I'm at a loss with this also.)  Together we're better!

Please continue to share this information with your students.

We are SUPER EXCITED to announce that library books can now be picked up curbside/dropped off in class on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Please continue to encourage your students to check out books and eBooks.  For more information on updated guidelines - https://bit.ly/30c9qhl

Chromebook Charging Cords

If you have extra cords in your room, please send them to the Media Center. We're down to only 1 charging cord per Chromebook model. 

If a student device needs to be charged, use another student's charger (after sanitizing). If you do not have one that works in your room, bring the device to the media office to be charged. 

Dunston's Domain - Episode 2

 Hey hey! Hope everyone has had a great week. Back with episode 2. Everyone knows I'm all about being productive so I think this new Google Chrome feature really helps me to do that.

The video is for anyone who has a million tabs open or find it difficult to quickly find the page you are looking for in the moment. 

As always if you have questions about the feature, anything else, or possible topics for future videos. Please send me an email or comment below and I'll do what I can to help you out. Also if you have a cool feature or tip that you use that saves time please pass it along or reach out. TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE!
