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
Discussions in Blended Environments
Don't forget, Canvas Discussion allow for more than typed responses though. Learners can reply and post in discussions using audio and video as well! Letting learners have a small choice in their post and providing sentence stems can really help the discussions in your class grow.
