Tech this out!
The "Return from Summer" edition
In this newsletter:
- Password Reset time--- "digital citizenship for grown ups"
- Google File Stream-- save to the cloud, not the network
That's it! Just two things EVERYONE in Hueneme needs to know about!
(okay, maybe I let EdCamp Hueneme sneak in, too...)
Want the short version?
- Go reset your password. It will expire after Labor Day if it hasn't been reset recently.
- The network H: Drive is no longer the place to store your files. Your Google Drive is. File Stream can help make this easy.
**********************************************
Reset your district password-- the time is now!

All passwords that haven't been changed in the last year will expire after Labor Day weekend. And with that--- we launch our "improved security-- reset your password at the start of every school year" program!
Are you one who wants step by step instructions to read? We got you! Click the image to the left and open it up! Hey, cool!
NOTE--- this password is not the same as your Q password, which gets reset through Q.
Now that you have a sparkly new & secure password, protect it!
YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS LIKE REMEMBER A PASSWORD! We are in the education business and you learn stuff, too!
Our students data and your professional work is behind that password and it must be protected and kept private.

Your "H: Drive" stuff moved this summer--- kind of
As announced last spring, this summer all of your files and folders were migrated to Google Drive for you. Go to drive.google.com and sign in. There is a folder called "Migrated Data" on your "My Drive". There it is! Ta Da!
Now you will be able to access your flies from any Internet connected device!
Your Home Folder (H: Drive) is still viewable, but you can't edit or save updates there.
To create new files you will now use your Google Drive. You will find your old "H: Drive" files and folders on your Google Drive within a folder called- "Migrated Data"
If you are comfortable with Google Drive and Google files, great! If you are a Microsoft user, calm the panic that you may feel. This is really not a big deal. Keep reading, because File Stream is the solution to almost every problem you may worry about. (But it won't figure out what's for dinner.... sorry)
Use File Stream to access your Microsoft Files
If that Google Drive view feels unfamiliar and you want a view that looks more like Windows OR if you use Microsoft Word etc, put in a support ticket saying "Please install File Stream on my computer." You just might already have it installed.
If you put in a ticket, someone will come by and show you how to use it.
With File Stream, you will be able to:
- continue using and editing your Microsoft Office Files while storing them in a secure spot (your desktop doesn't count, it isn't backed up).
- navigate your Google Drive files with a Windows type view.
Want to watch Mel and Liz explain it in a little longer than it maybe needed to take?
