Each time you log in to your computer the GSD Workspaces applications opens up.  If not, it is on your desktop and says... GSD Workspaces and has the GSD logo and a red square around it.

Please use that to install any missing applications that you may need.  If the software you are missing is NOT in the GSD Workspace, it can be added as requested.

To Download Lynx...

1. Search for the Microsoft Store
2. Open Microsoft Store. (no need to log in)
3. Search for "Lynx"
4. Click on "Install"  Mine says Installed as I already have it.

Our map is on the directory page and live!  Of the 100+ people that are on this list thanks to all those who responded - Check it out.  Pretty fun to see where our School staff is from and where they like to go.  I am sure these items will be included in a Goosechase or scavenger hunt next year.  NO, it is NOT too late to send me your info

​E-mail - As mentioned last week about “Contacts” on your phone… along those same lines… Instead of adding your school e-mail account to your phones “Accounts” and mixing your personal email with your work e-mail… Just download the Outlook App and you can have most of the same functionality as you do in other versions of Outlook!  There are rumors that @graniteschools e-mail (via Microsoft) may not work on your phone soon. UNLESS you have the app.  It is so much easier anyway.  Plus you get your Calendars!

Next week I will show you how cool using OneDrive on your phone can be.

​Now that Disney+ is open for teachers, I figured out why it seems blocked on some devices!  Those pesty boxlights!  It’s an easy fix.  On the TV open Opera, the web browser and go to purple.com.  Type it in, don’t search for it.  It should be blocked by iBoss.  It probably says you’re a student.  Click on "Log in" and.. log in.  It should change to Teacher.  You should be able to log into Disney+ now.  BUT be sure to log off as anyone can now use your account on the TV.  IF you want to stream it from your PC you must change your audio source to get A and V.  Seems like many of you may only be getting one or the other.
 
If the audio Is not playing via your sound system… I figured that out too.  Right click the sound settings in the task bar and change the output.  To what you say?  I don’t know – one that works!  Sorry each of you have slightly different setups!

Personal Devices
If you have a personal device (aka – iPhone*) and have your school e-mail/contacts on it (aka – Outlook)… Please be sure that your PERSONAL contact is your default.  Why you say?...  When you add a contact on YOUR PERSONAL phone you want it in your PERSONAL account.  If / when you leave Granite you do NOT want to lose all your contacts that you have added over the years… You may have been adding them to your GSD account and not your personal account.  To find out or change your default Contacts account.. go to Settings – Contacts… the Default button is towards the bottom.

In Outlook you can Export your contacts and import them into Gmail from a CSV file.   I’d be happy to show you if you’d like.

*I am sure you can do the same thing on other devices... I just don't have one so don' know how!

Even though it is for personal use only (according to their contract)  It appears there is a loophole!  Disney+ is now open FOR TEACHERS not students and only on GSDX.  It is still blocked on the Guest network. 

All (that I know of) streaming services are this way

(PS/FYI – I have nothing to do what is and is not blocked). But I do know this violates copyright law and your usage agreement!
