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!

Tips from WCPSS tech services
