Hi Everyone,

Technology events helping Cal High Teachers

All Teachers have a link to the web site in their school loop account, Teachers can now create and update web pages using school loop.

During Collaboration Day's we will be offering assistance in the T-Building

From time to time I will send a group e-mail relating to technology.

This will be an attempt to "MENTOR" colleagues and provide useful information about our network.

The range of "Tips and Tricks" will be from the very basic to advanced.

If the Tip helps, wonderful, if not DELETE it!

Tips and Tricks #1 -->

If the electricity shuts down your computer, it will not be restarted automatically when the electricity turns back on. You will simply need to push the power button on the front of the computer to turn it back on. -->

If your monitor is showing a screen that says "NO SIGNAL INPUT" it means your computer is not turned off and you must push the power button to turn it on.

If the power goes off throughout the entire school, as a result all the computers shut down. So if your monitor is showing the above message, simply turn the computer on.

Tip#2

If you can not show a video in Windows Media Player you need to Right Click on the top bar and “file-view-play-tools-help” will show up. Click on “tools” then “options” then “Performance” then “advanced” in the lower area of the window then click off the check box for using overlays.

Tip#3
