Accessing Gmail from Student Computers
Gmail has been blocked on student stations, while under the student login.
This has always been the case, but for a long span of time this year it was unblocked for all of the trainings going on across the district...as we have been in the process of migrating from GroupWise to Google. Now that we have completed that that migration to Google, Gmail is now blocked again on student stations, while under the student login.
Teachers and IAs can still access their Gmail with one additional step.
They will need to authenticate into the browser.
1. Open Chrome
2. Go to a page that is blocked for students (suggesting youtube.com)
3. On the blocked page, click on "For further options, click here"
4. Your staff member will login to the Web Access Authentication
5. Make sure to keep the keep the small Authenticator window open
6. Type sso.nisd.net in the Chrome browser to access Gmail
7. When finished, close ALL windows
They can also just log themselves into that machine. Most of them already know how to do that.
ReplyDeleteBut, Dana... How will students access their Gmail accounts? My 12th grader says they forced him to create one at Marshall.
Jim, these are directions for elementary...since elementary computers are the only stations that auto-logon to STUDENT accounts. I'm feeling sure there are different procedures at the secondary level. I'm addressing elementary needs.
