Tech Tip # 1: CYBERSECURITY THREAT:
Just a reminder that school email addresses are like gold for hackers. An attacker sends a message hoping to trick you into clicking on a link to deploy malicious software or asking you to enter your username and password, so they can steal it. Both our Microsoft and Gmail emails have EXTERNAL notifications to alert you that the email came from outside our district.
External Alert Microsoft Example
Check out this scam email that made it past the Microsoft filter. Notice the sender's email address, and more than likely, if I open the attachment, it will prompt me for username and password to Office 365.(Click on the image to zoom.) If you are unsure of am email, check the address of the sender, and ask a tech team member. We are always glad to help!
Tech Tip # 2: Have you reviewed the NWEA Study Island report? This report allows you to view the results of a studentโs Learning Path. Click on School Reports>NWEA MAP Link Report (Bottom right)>Fill in Class>Student>Subject. This report will show you what grade level per standard that a student is working on. You will not be able to edit the NWEA MAP Learning Path, but you can create assignments that can fill in gap areas. See next tip!
