A lot of people say they "want Adobe installed".  Adobe is a company that makes many products.  So what exactly do they mean?  Perhaps "they" only really mean Acrobat which is a .pdf reader and is pre-installed already.  Below is a video on how to install  other Adobe products of your choice on different computers.
- Click the icon. Log-in. Click install!

Remember that Google thinks you want to see and find EVERYTHING and ANYTHING.  But in reality you're only looking for YOUR own files!

Watch the video to see how to search or display only YOUR items.

I forgot to mention... After you click your icon it will say "owner:me" in the search bar.  Then type what you are looking for!

It is different in Drive, than in your Document type. Either;
Click "Your icon" in the search box or
Click "Owned by ..." in the column heading.

Part A - Windows update

1. Click on the Windows icon in the bottom left and start typing updates. "Check for Updates"* should pop up. Hit "enter."
2. Click on the "Check for updates" box (no image)
3. Each machine will be a little different depending on when you last got updates. Generally they come out Every Tuesday!
4. Restart when or if it tells you to.
5. Run updates again. And again until it says you are up to date.

​*You could also go to "Windows Settings" and click "Update & Security". There are many ways to get there.

This includes Chrome on a PC!

1. Click the 3 dots by your name.
2. Click on "Help"
3. Click on "About Google Chrome"
   
   ​It will then say what version of Chrome you are using and if there is an update.  Different devices can only run certain versions of the software so I cannot tell you what the latest version of chrome is. Wikipedia can
   ​
4. You should also remove your user and re-login to the device.

 Part B - Update GSD "stuff"

1. Click the Windows Icon. Click All Apps.
2. Scroll Down to the I's and click "Ivanti Management"
3. Click “Security Scan”. 
4. Lock your computer. (Windows key L)
5. Go home! ;)  ​Or do something else while the updates run...

Do the same steps AGAIN... Yes, twice (at least) until it says you are up to date.   However it may be best to have us re-provision your computer.  After a re-provision though we still run updates!

I keep saying how “Complicated” zoom is because of the options at set up.

It does not have to be!

​Here is a Quick way to set up zoom meeting without all the fuss… and NOT let students change their name.

This is a good time to clean up your files and desktop.  When you open "This PC"  you will notice a cloud icon next to Documents, Desktop, and Pictures.  Those 3 folders are synced to your online, OneDrive account.  Meaning those 3 folders are accessible from anywhere online.  Including a smart phone with the OneDrive app. 

You <in theory> won't loose anything stored in those 3 folders!

• Non saved contacts*
• Signature file* (easy to re-create)
• Probably other <non-important> items!

I am not sure why but outlook does NOT sync those items.  

IE Favorites
Google bookmarks (If you are NOT logged in)
(Does anyone use Firefox anymore? Export them.)

Options. (see videos below)
Be logged into Chrome. Not Drive. Chrome.
Export your IE favorites

Howdy hey!
I get quite a few teachers asking me to add another person or teacher to their Canvas class.  You (the teacher) can also do this in your own classes.

1. Click on "People"
2. Click the blue "+People" button
3. Add their "e-mail address"
4. be sure to give the correct "Role"

Then click next.

Please understand that if you give someone "Teacher"  rights they have the same rights as you!
