Viewing Data in Schoolnet-From Laura Elliot
Suggested Path to View Data in SchoolNet:
- Select HB - IIS for SchoolNet
- Select tab Classroom - Student Performance
- Teacher will select the subject
- Click on Tab for Benchmark Dashboard
- Shows list of assessments under the teacher name
- Click on the assessment
- Now you see comparison of the teacher class vs school vs district
- Click on Item Analysis
- This report gives you a student list by item.
Another Report that is just a summary of the scores:
Click on the tab for Student List & the radio button for Benchmark Results
I hope this helps you and your teachers. We are finding that if the tab for Item Analysis is used first, not all data is showing because the correct criteria must be selected.
Laptop Security Change-From David Blattner
To reiterate, we are now going to a white list of programs that will be allowed to run on the computer. This means that if there any programs that are currently on the computer that are not on the white list then they will not be able to run.
ISS Weekly TV Show
- Started our first recordings last week. Mr. Johnson invites you to come by and be a guest on our TV show. Mr. Johnson will be reaching out to you for interviews. These will be hour long segments; 4 15-minute installments.
- Story ideas – please send those ideas to Susie Wiberg or Jada Jonas.
ISS Help Desk-From S. Justice
You can use this for troubleshooting issues such as student pw changes. They can help reset pw for gmail, NCEDCLOUD, or logging in to Active Directory (Signing in on the computer). If you have students who are unable to login to any of these you can contact helpdesk and they can try to reset.
