Tech updates for teachers

1. Color printer for teachers
There is a color laser printer now available for teachers in the staff lounge. Please log in to the computer next to the printer in order to print. Teachers get 20 color pages per semester.

2. Admin privileges for school-owned devices
You may have noticed that you now have “admin privileges” on your computers (if you didn’t already), which will allow you to authorize standard software updates and downloads.  Here’s how to check to see if you have admin access. If you don’t think you have this, please submit a help ticket and we will take care of it.
3. Please exercise caution for yourself and for our organization!

  • Beware of “phishing” emails. Don’t click links in emails you aren’t expecting, even if you think you know the sender, and double-check the email address (not just the name in the “from” field).
  • Protect your password. Make a complex password (write it down if you need to) or use a password manager.
  • Please check with the tech team before downloading any programs. In general, download with caution and as little as possible. Our students are primarily using G Suite and Chromebooks which are all online and require no downloads. If we do the same we make it easier for them and us.

Tech training for teachers
The Tech Team will be offering Lunch and Learning “office hours” on Fridays during lunch in the library conference room. We will have a topic to share but feel free to bring your tech questions as well (like a help ticket, but in person).
