Can't see your LTHS Bookmarks?
- Is LTHS your home campus? Only our home campus teachers can see these.
- Are you logged in to Chrome with your FISD account? Look at the top right to see if you are logged in.
- Are you syncing in Chrome? Click your picture/initials and see if it says it is synced or if it has a button that allows you to start syncing. You need to sync to see the bookmarks folder.
Profile Reset in Eduphoria
Here is the deal- we need you to reset your profile in Eduphoria. It may only let you through the first page before it kicks you back to your home screen and THAT IS OKAY! At least you will have your campus set correctly then and your appraisers will be able to find you! Click on this link for instructions.
State of the Chromebooks
- Baylor- #3 and #4 missing keys and are still out for repair
- Trinity #10 has a broken charging port
- UT #1 has been found! We are back to 15 Chromebooks in that cart!
No dates in Blueprints? What does that mean?
The reason has to do with the Syllabus page in your course. What we have found is that teachers who had assignments with due dates in their blueprints last year are seeing those same dates pop up in their students' syllabi this year as well. Which means the kids are having to sort through all sorts of old dates before they find their current assignments. It is something easy to fix at this point in the year, and something we were not anticipating but is easy to avoid. So avoid using dates in your blueprints and save yourself a headache.
Are You Missing Google Classroom?
You can use something called Google Course Kit in Canvas to do some of the things that you could do in Google Classroom, and that includes their new plagiarism checker that you might have been hearing about the last couple of weeks!
So mark your calendars because I am going to do a couple of trainings on utilizing Google Course Kit with Canvas next week.
THESE LINKS HAV CHANGED! I am making it so you can register which will give you access to the recording if you want it! It will also send you an email reminder with the link to the webinar in it.
