iPads for Libraries
Librarians: Have you earned additional iPads for your library yet?
You could have five (5) extra iPads available in your library to use for student learning activities! All we ask is that you complete the "iPad Basics" course in Canvas before receiving your iPads. Check out this Smore for directions on how to complete "iPad Basics".
We will provide more information regarding deployment, management, etc. as soon as you have completed the course.

TIPS FROM THE TECHNICIANS
How to Enter a Ticket for Tech Support
IMPORTANT: When you go to ZenDesk for the first time, do NOT create an account. Click on the red "Log in with Google" button on the left side.
You can also get to ZenDesk by going to your Google Apps (Gmail or Google Drive). Click on the 3x3 grid ("waffle") in the top-right corner next to your name --> "More" --> "Even More" --> Click on the "ZenDesk" icon.
**Remember: A ticket should be entered for ANY and ALL technology-related hardware problems. Do not rely on emailing a technician or simply mentioning a problem to them in passing. A technician will address the problem as soon as possible after the ticket is received.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get help with my computer? How do I get another bulb for my projector? What do I do when I forget a password? How can I use Skype? These questions along with many others are answered in the Technology FAQs.
CANVAS CORNER
Create an Online Embedded Editable Assignment! (Similar to Google Classroom)
Instructors can create an online embedded assignment through an external tool. With the Google Apps external tool, this assignment type creates a view of the assignment file that acts as a template for a student’s assignment submission. Accepted assignment types are Google Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.
When students open the assignment, Google Drive will create a copy of the file in the student’s Google Drive folder for the course for each student’s submission. The students can update the document per the assignment instructions and submit it without leaving the page!
