Application Updates
Canvas
Canvas is our PUSD Learning Management System (LMS) and will continue to be available in the upcoming year. Please see this newsletter for more information.
Clever
All applications that require Clever single sign on are now available. If you still don't have access to a PUSD supported application that uses Clever sign in (i-Ready, TCI), please put in a Help Desk Ticket.
Google Meet
Google Meet has created the ability to add co-hosts to meetings. Read more HERE.
ITS Ticket System
If you need support with your accounts or devices provided by PUSD, be sure to submit a support ticket by visiting gopusd.com/helpdesk. We anticipate that there will be a heightened need for support when school starts, so be sure to submit tickets for support ASAP.
STEMscopes
During the summer, the method for how student and teacher accounts are created in STEMscopes changed. This change was to allow for autorostering and LTI integration within Canvas, two pieces that would have streamlined many aspects of the program for teachers. Unfortunately, this has led to the wrong student IDs being shared between the systems and single sign on is not working for students. Please check with your Instructional Coach for the best method to get your students logged in to STEMscopes.
Webex
Coming Soon! Create a more personal and engaging experience while presenting by immersing your video directly into your shared screen or application. In the Share Content menu, there is a new option: Show me in front of shared content.
