Library Media Services Updates
February 2016
Access to Office 365 Sandbox Account
In preparation for the new email (Outlook), calendar, and other services that will be available through the Office 365 accounts, campus tech liaisons and librarians have been given early access to sandbox accounts to practice.
Prior to the upcoming Library Update and Professional Learning Meetings, please make sure you can log into your Office 365 accounts.
- To access your account, log into Office 365 by going to http://portal.office.com.
- Use your AISD email and district network password.
Troubleshooting Tip:
- If you cannot log into Office 365, try resetting your password via RapidID (password.aisd.net).
- Once you've reset your password and waited up to 15 minutes, if you still can't log into Office 365, please submit a technology help ticket.
- Please indicate on the help ticket that you've already reset your password via RapidID and you still cannot log into Office 365.
We will be going through a brief overview of some of the components of Office 365 with Barry Fox during our February Friday meetings.
Upcoming #arlingtech Twitter Chat
The next #arlingtech Twitter chat will be the week of February 22nd-26. The topic is TBA, and will be facilitated by ITD. It is a slow chat, so there is one question each day that you can respond to. Make sure you include the #arlingtech hashtag in your tweet. For more information, see the TECH KNOW regarding the Twitter Chat in the Library Announcements conference in First Class.
Local 199 Book Budgets
Local Book Budgets were due to Debra Ruth on February 1st. If you haven't sent Debra your final orders, please do so ASAP. If you do not know if you have spent all of your local book budget funds, you can email Debra or see her at the end of the meeting on Friday. (ELEM 2/12 and SEC 2/19)
Library Substitutes
We will be having another Destiny for Library Substitutes training on 2/16/16. If you know of any approved substitutes that would like to substitute in our libraries, please have them contact Cindy Craig (682.867.7818) to reserve their space and receive training location information.
As an additional reminder, please try to secure your substitute in advance when at all possible by using a substitute that has been to the Library Services Destiny training and is on the pre-approved list.
After School Professional Learning Opportunities
Don't forget to check Eduphoria for additional library, technology, and curriculum professional learning opportunities. As a reminder, 8 participants must be signed up 2 days prior to the session date in order for the session to be held.
