Monica's Media Minutes
Lost Creek Media Center May 9, 2017
Important iPad Information
Dave from IT says he has loaded the majority of apps that were requested. HOWEVER, about 6 iPads would not accept the apps. He needs to fix that, but we need to know if you did not receive the apps that you requested.
Please email me and I will get a message to Dave. He will be at Lost Creek later this week to fix the problem.

NEW!! Teacher Share Drive
Dave from IT has created a Teacher Share drive. It is similar to Labshare, but for teachers. This drive WILL NOT be deleted at the end of the year. It is handy for sharing forms, important documents, etc. Students should not be able to access this drive.
To access the drive:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on Computer
3. Click twice on Teacher Share
To save something to the Teacher Share, either drag and drop or "save as" and follow the path to the teacher share drive. If you need assistance with this, please let me know and we will get it done!
