FASTT Math Student Usernames and Passwords

FASTT Math Student Usernames and Passwords

Class Rosters for Elementary Applications
(Please log in with your NETWORK Username and Password)
http://nisdweb1/ECTRoster/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/ectroster/default.aspx

Math Specialists and CITs both have access to print these "rosters," which include the FASTT Math Student Usernames and Passwords.

CITs, this is the SAME type form you have used for accessing your SRA Rosters in the past. I know you will be helpful in getting your Math Specialists started and up and running. Math Specialists, it is VERY easy!!!

You will have two options to print
1. Label Roster (prints to Avery 5263 labels, for ease of putting each student on a separate index card)
3. Show Roster (prints in list form, each class on a different page)

Note to CITs...after you log in, you actually are able to access TWO reports (one for FASTT Math Roster and one for SRA Roster). To toggle between the two reports, click on the Report link located at the upper left hand side of the screen.

Office Depot Label Ordering Info (from Fall 2010), if interested:

326-856          250-PK $13.37

FASTT Math UPDATE

FASTT Math UPDATE

FASTT Math is ready to go!

I created a FASTT MATH - Getting Started for Teachers ducument. The purpose of this 3-pager is to be an aide for you and your Math Specialists as you support teachers getting started with FASTT Math.

Location of FASTT Math - Getting Started for Teachers:
 http://technews.nisd.net/tiki/AT_Tiki.html
File Gallery > Math > Fastt Math

It covers:
1. Logging in as a Teacher to the FASTT Math SAM
2. Enrolling Students in FASTT Math
3. Setting Assignments for Students in FASTT Math
4. Logging in as a Student to FASTT Math

 The official web site for FASTT Math in Northside is http://mesquite.nisd.net/fasttmath/.

 Teachers are totally ready to begin getting in to setup their classes (enrollment and setting assignments). When your Math Specialists are ready to start, the system is ready :)

STILL TO COME: Gerri Collier's group is working on putting the student's usernames and passwords into an online system, which will make it easy for campuses to print out cards, etc. for their students. This will be very similar to the system we used to get Usernames and Passwords on index cards for SRA (completed and published to CITs and Math Specialists 9/30/2010).

 Math Specialists will have the School Administrator role. They are the only non-classroom teachers with access to logging into FASTT Math.

Marta Romo is the District Administrator for FASTT Math.

Fastt Math

Fastt Math

Fastt Math is close to being ready to go!!! Our Systems Administrators and Information Services Team are working hard on student imports, etc.

This is what I know:
1. It does not need an install.
2. It is completely web-based.
3. You will be given a URL to put in a handy spot for student access.

Additional details of WHEN exactly each campus will have it I don't know, but soon!!!

I hope this helps. I know you are hearing about it...here and there :)

Differentiated Best of Math I (Exemplars) for Title 1 Campuses

Differentiated Best of Math I (Exemplars) for Title 1 Campuses

The Elementary Math Department purchased a site license of Differentiated Best of Math I (Exemplars) for Elementary Title 1 campuses on 06/22/2010. I will be ponying each title 1 campus a copy of the PO for your records.

The software can be pushed remotely to your campus. I have ALREADY PUT IN the WORK ORDER for all of you. I have asked for the software to be installed remotely (pushed) to all TEACHER STATIONS.

NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING ON YOUR END at this time. I will let you know when I have an update. This is just an FYI that it is coming :) Please share with your Math Specialists!

Differentiated Best of Math I
SW2010-0032
PO# 29050000-00

UPDATE 09/21/2010

The setup for this "push" was created on Friday, September 17.

The install will occur when your machine is powered up. It will keep trying until the expiration date, which is 10/17/2010.

There is NO DESKTOP ICON being delivered, BUT you will see Diff Math 1 in the Start Menu.

Fast Facts v10

Fast Facts v10

FYI...an update for Fast Facts to v10 was placed on all elementary campus servers. Most of you have used the Math Apps folder as part of your Active Directory Icon Campus Deployment...and you will easily find that the icon/shortcut for Math Facts v10 has been added to that folder. The old icon/shortcut is still there for the transition. You have until the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year to delete the old icon/shortcut...after making sure the new one functions correctly for your campus. If you don't remove it, it will be removed for you at that time.

Novell campuses...you should be able to grab your Fast Facts v10 icon/shortcut from the K drive like you have for other network apps in the past.

FASTT Math FYI...

FASTT Math FYI...

FASTT Math is software being purchased for ALL elementary campuses by the district.

It is possible that actual FASTT Math CDs might show up on your campus...not to worry. Your CDs should just be stored with the rest of your campus software inventory. The CDs will not be needed for the installation at this time.

Behind the scenes work is still being done to get this application up and running (purchasing and installation of servers at CO, etc.). I just wanted you to know that it is coming...and when it does, it seems that it will be web-based for the most part. When I have more details, I will share them out with you all...

At this time, there is nothing you need to do for this initiative :)

Destination Math CDs

I have an important notification for you regarding some of your intervention math software....

SW2009-1303 Destination Math 5.0 Mastering Skills and Concepts 1
SW2009-1304 Destination Math 5.0 Mastering Skills and Concepts 2
SW2009-1305 Destination Math 5.0 Mastering Skills and Concep
ts 3

This software will no longer be usable and supported in the district beginning in January 2010...right around the corner! As you know, this software was purchased many years ago and it is not compatible with some updates our district is needing for newer software and online tools to work correctly. An example of this is Flash 10.

But we do have a solution!  For Non-Title campuses that do not have the Destination Math Portal and have had to use the CDs, the Special Education Department will use their Stimulus Funding to purchase the portal for your campus! This purchase is already in progress, and we hope to have the Destination Math Portal for all of these Non-Title campuses in use by January 2010.

Mary Esther Reynosa sent notification to the Math Specialists today of this news, but I wanted to make sure you all knew it as well. They have been asked to contact her if they have any questions.  They can also contact Yvonne Fisher if they wish to confirm that your campus is on the list to receive the portal.

This is super news!!!
