Technology Training Materials

Technology Training Materials

Just a reminder to you that Training and Development keeps a wonderful page updated for you with technology training materials. These resources are continuously updated and added to periodically.

For example, John Robinson posted a new video resource on IE8 Compatibility Mode Settings under the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 section.

You can quickly browse to see updated or new materials...as they have a bright yellow NEW! label by them. You can't miss it.

Just an FYI and reminder of a super resource!

This would be a super thing to blog about!

NISD Online Databases

NISD Online Databases

I recieved a question the other day about Visual Thesaurus. Unfortunately, Visual Thesaurus, along with a few other databases, weren't able to be renewed this school year because of the budget and funding. I know many of you enjoyed using this resource with students, so I wanted to make sure you were aware.

Here is a link to the NISD Online Databases, so that you can familiarize yourself with the databases you do have access to for the year!

Deployment Resource Folders for Staff

Deployment Resource Folders for Laptop Staff

This is a suggested list of deployment resources you might choose to put together as a resource folder for your laptop staff.

CITs have found that teachers have found much use and comfort in having a few resources offline and easily accessible when they are stuck!

These are the items often included:

Laptop Checklist (document also includes "Responsible Use" and "Your Financial Responsibility")
Laptop Basics
eFiles
Setting a Default Printer
Using the Ringdale "Follow Me" Printer
Using the Mounted Projector
Changing the Screen Resolution
Playing a DVD Using Your Laptop
ELMO Quick Start
Connecting to Wireless Networks


Besides the Laptop Checklist, which can be found from the direct link above, all resources can be found in the NISD Laptop Zone: http://www.nisd.net/technology/training/laptop/index.html
