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!

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!

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

Normally you can check for updates in any software under a "Help" or "About" tab (or menu).  It all depends on which software you are using.  Perhaps it is settings as well and when the software starts there is a message that tells you there is an update.  You can turn that off (or on) by checking some box in settings (preferences) for that software.

​If it is NOT there you can click here to download OneDrive and log in.  It will know who you are work... Supposedly!
