Tech Odds and Ends

1.  Moving Photos from iPads to a Computer

The new management software has locked down the iPads for connecting to computers.
Please load Google Drive (found in the Self-Service app) onto the iPad that has the pictures, and open Google Drive with your Pennridge Account. You can then select all the photos and save them to your Google Drive. Next open Google Drive on your laptop and all the photos are now available to you.
Let Bill Swope or Erin Reichert know if you need help with this.

2.  Please be sure your students are appropriately signing-out of laptops. 

•  Students should click the Start Window at the bottom left and find their name at the top.
•  Student will select Sign-out.  At this time, it is very important NOT to close the lid of the laptop until the signing out process is complete.  Some students are rushing this, and therefore, the device is not successfully signing out.

3.  Are you looking for virtual field trips and guest speakers for use in your classroom?  

Be sure to use your Office 365 account credentials to log-in to the Microsoft Educator Community to explore Skype in the Classroom presenters.  These presenters have all been vetted by the community and are trusted speakers.  If you would like assistance with Skype, please contact Erin Reichert.  In addition, please visit the Pennridge Skype Site to check out some of the "tried and true" presenters and to look how far we've traveled via Skype!  And of course, if you've traveled somewhere that is not on the map, please let Erin know using this Google Form at any point in the school year!  This picture shows just a few of the places Pennridge has "visited" using Skype!
