Tech Tools Tuesday
Newsletter #2
Last Week's Meeting (Tuesday - 9/9/14)
Review of Printers from TTT Newsletter #1
Tips:
- Do not print to the Office P15002. This is for office staff only.
- Please review which printer is selected before you print so you know the location to retrieve your print job.
- Need more than one copy? Please print to the office P15003.
- Do not print black and white jobs to the color printers. They are for color jobs only.
- Please pick up your print job as soon as you can. Any jobs that have not been retrieved before Friday will be placed in the staff lounge.
COPPA Parent Permission Forms
Please return any signed permission forms to me.
To better understand COPPA, read and follow Coby Culbertson's blog. (This is the DCSD IT Director's blog that we found and followed during our meeting on Tuesday.) Reminder: Click on Sites at the top of your O365 online window. For more details, see below in the Office 365 Corner.

Office 365 Corner
Have you noticed the header "Sites" at the top of your O365 window? These can be blogs or locations that allow collections of information.
One site that I highly recommend following is "Technically Speaking..." This site is a blog by Coby Culbertson, IT Director for the DCSD. His current topic is a three-part discussion of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This discussion leads into the need for the COPPA Written Request Document that was sent via email at the beginning of the year. This will help explain the need to obtain parent signatures for using various websites and web tools.
To follow Coby's blog, click on Sites, and in the search box at the top, type Technically Speaking... (with the 3 periods). The site should appear with Coby's latest blog. To follow his blog and not have to search for it each time, click the star at the top right of the page. Each time you open your Sites directory, "Technically Speaking..." will be there. On the left under the bold DUBUQUE, you will find the COPPA category. Click on it and you can read the blog articles relating to COPPA.
