Tech Minute
Watch and learn how to use task scheduler on your computer to remind you of events such as bell times and lunch. It’s easy - once set, your computer will open Windows Media Player (or other application) and play your pre-picked song.https://rcschools.sharepoint.com/portals/hub/_layouts/15/PointPublishing.aspx?app=video&p=p&chid=d9fb8e9a-cf27-40b7-9b34-4471f39cf3ad&vid=466dfb9b-dc17-47ff-8e12-37d2d87b31e5&from=2
