If you have one of the Dukane document cameras that only works with the Macs, you have to install the accompanying software and choose USB connection under the Video Source choices. This camera will only work when attached to your MacBook and a projector.

MacBook to TV

Anyone interested in using their TV as a monitor so the whole class can see things from their computer needs to see me to get the correct cables. I am limited in the amount of teachers I can help so it will be on a first come first serve basis.

Digital Cameras for the Classroom

Teachers: I am asking a favor. I have 5 brand new digital cameras ready for you to use in your classrooms. I need 5 of you to volunteer to buy a memory card for the cameras. The cameras did not come with one and it will only allow 3 pictures without one. I have seen many of the cards on sale during the holiday season. It has to be a card that fits the specific camera. Anyone who agrees to buy the card can use the camera in your classroom for as long as you like.

Changing Passwords

Please remember when prompted to change your password, do it at school on the network. It is so much simpler to change it on a PC. You may use the PC in my room or any of the ones in the library. You need to follow the new guidelines that were given to you when devising your new password (8 characters long- one Capital letter, one number or alphanumeric symbol). Also, please remember the school board will never ask you for username, social security # or password through email. Those are phishing scams.

The iMacs are now set to shut off each afternoon but you have to turn them on in the mornings.
