Post #13: New MacBooks, Zoom, Opening Word Documents, iPevo Doc Cam

New MacBooks

Thank you to teachers for such a quick turn around on swapping your laptops. The entire Tech Department appreciates your efforts. 

Zoom Differences with new MacBooks

There are a couple of differences with zoom on the new laptops. 

  1. You can only see 25 people at once

  2. The processor in the mac is not as powerful, so you want to make your video settings are optimized as follows.

  3. Tap on the up arrow next to Video then select "SETTINGS"...

How to open a Word document?

  1. You can open a Microsoft word document with Pages on your MacBook. 

  2. You can upload a word document to Google drive and it will open with word formatting and you can edit.

  3. You can access Office 365 online.  Follow these directions to access.


iPevo Doc Camera 

These have been distributed. With the potential for a possible "remote" day for all this week, please take some time to test out your camera for use on your laptop. The software needs to be downloaded at school. Please don't wait until Thursday morning to test it out 😌.

Here are some iPevo instructions I shared before.
