Instructional Tools Policy - Please remember to check the Instructional Tools Policy when looking to use a website/app that requires student accounts! Our policy as a district is to have a signed Student Data Privacy policy in place BEFORE any student accounts are created. This is to protect the student's data.
Wifi Issues - We are continuing to troubleshoot wifi issues in the building. Here is what I know:
- Chromebooks - There is a known bug in the Chrome OS. The bug is delaying students' ability to join the network. Goole is working on a solution. No ETA as to when we can expect a solution.
- iPads - ClassLink sometimes shows a white screen. We are working with ClassLink to determine the issue.
Until we find a solution for Chromebooks and iPads, these are the troubleshooting steps:
Stagger student logins
Have students log in and then turn their screens to you while you give directions.
This gives the device time to connect to the wifi.
When students are ready to start, you can have them turn their devices back.
Most devices have been ready to go.
Restart once
Turn off/on Wifi once
THEN WAIT
Student Device Power Cords: If a student needs to take home a device (iPad or Chromebook), I have extra power cords in the lab. Please DO NOT fish out any power cords from the carts.
Students Accessing ClassLink on a Home Device: Here is a slideshow explaining how to access ClassLink from a home device (tablet, laptop, or desktop). Feel free to share this with families.
