Five tips of the week…
- PowerSchool GradeBook: You can download the PowerSchool Gradebook Launcher onto your laptop for faster access to GradeBook. Click here for directions.
- Outlook: In order to have the full functionality of Outlook you should use Outlook 2016 which is on your computer rather than the web version. This allows you to embed pictures into an email, open hyperlinks- like the ones in this email- and so much more! Just go to your start menu. Click on the Outlook 2016 tile. If you don’t see the tile open “All Apps” and search for Outlook 2016. Click through the start-up steps for Outlook and it will load all of your email, contacts, calendar, etc. When you see the Blue Outlook symbol on your taskbar, right click and select Pin to Taskbar. Outlook will now be accessible from the taskbar. At home you will still need to use the web version unless you VPN into school.
- Canvas Assignments: Did you know you can “Mute” an assignment in Canvas. This means that students won’t be able to see their grades until you “Unmute” the assignment. You may want to use this function if you do not want some students to know their grades before you have finished grading a test, project, or homework. Here are directions on how to Mute and UnMute an Assignment in Canvas.
- Canvas Notifications: You can help your students fully utilize Canvas by reminding them to set up notification preferences in their account settings. If students add their cell phone number they can receive texts from Canvas reminding them of due dates, course information, events, graded work, and more! You can do the same! Here are directions.
- Windows 10: Many people have struggled mastering the use of the projector with Windows 10. Chris B. made these handy directions to help with this issue.
