a document posted on the district website |
|
| |
- Create the
document using: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or
Publisher
- If the document
is for the news area of the main district web page place the
information in a press release form (the Press Release form
is on the Public drive - staff folder - forms file)
- Email that
document to your building supervisor or principal
- Please indicate
where you would like to have the page(s) linked from on the
district website
- Your supervisor
or principal will forward the document to Mrs. Wiseman if it
is approved or reply to you if it needs changed or is denied

will publish the documents once they have been approved
- You do not need

- Check with
others in your area. Is anyone else having a problem, or is
just on your computer? If others are having the same
problem, the network may be down temporarily.
- If you can log
into the terminal server, then the network is not down you
can still do work and save it to your user file.
- If the problem
is only your email the the mail server may be down and you
will have to wait until the problem is resolved.

Information to
gather before you submit a work order... |
|
| |
- What kind of
computer are you using?
- What application
are you having problems with?
- Is there an
error message? If so, write it down.
- Keep track of
what you are doing when the problem occurs. (Starting up?
Opening an application? Saving a document? Printing from a
specific program? Connecting to the internet?)
- Try to isolate
the problem. Can you print one document, but not another?
Can you print from one application, but not from another?
Does the freeze happen only in one application or in all?
Does it happen when you are doing a specific task?

Helpful Hints/Ideas |
|
| |
If you are
going to be doing something that you have not done before or
do not do on a daily basis try to plan ahead and ask a few
questions. Be sure to follow protocol, your immediate
supervisor, team leader, committee chair person, or building
principal might already have the answers to these questions
or know who to contact to get the information first hand.
Also keep in mind that the Technology Facilitator for the
district is here to help you plan for use of district
technology.
-
Will you
be using a computer program you’ve not used before? Make
sure the program is loaded, you and everyone that will
be using it has access to it. Make some time to test it
out before you “have to have it”. See if the program
works that way it should (all functions!).
If a program is loaded
on the Terminal Server most any district user can be set
up to access it from anywhere in the district.
-
Will you
be on the internet? Have you ever accessed the web site
you will be working on from a district computer
connected to the district network? If this is the case
log on to the site ahead of time to be sure it is not
blocked by our ISP.
If it is blocked you
will need to send the Technology Facilitator an email with the URL (web site
address) so they can contact the district ISP and ask them
to remove the block for that site.
-
Will you
be in the building you are assigned to or a different
building in the district? Where ever you are going to
be make sure the technology is connect to the network if
needed and working properly; computers will turn on and
connect to the network, you have access to a printer in
that building if you will have a need to print, you have
access/codes to a copy machine if you will be needing to
make copies. We can
set any network user up to print to any network printer
but it takes a few minutes as server settings have to be
changed and the user has to log out of their user
account.
-
Do you
need a projector? – Digital camera? – Laptop? We have
access to lots of different types of technology and many
different ways to make all of it work but not all
technology is compatible. Some projectors and cameras
might “connect” to a computer fine but they need special
software for all functions to work properly.
