2. Building up the PSD Key Library
Now that PSD Key, the Single Sign On portal for Pennridge, is live and in the hands of students and teachers, we want to make it the best experience possible for you and your students. If there is a resource you use, please consider putting an app request to helpdesk@pennridge.org. All that is needed is the name of the app and the web url for that resource, and we will have an app tile created for that resource. Then, students can simply grab that tile from the app library - the QuickGuide for PSD Key discusses this process with images. Please send Chris any questions you might have.3. Spring Cleaning
