Elementary Technology Newsletter

Student Google Accounts will now be automatically created when they are entered into Skyward! I will send out an email soon with the username and password configuration. Students MUST have the signed release (in Skyward) stating that they can access the internet BEFORE we can let them log in. Due to some changes in settings, we do not have to send home the permission form we used that was specific to Google last year.

After you get the students logged in, I suggest giving Google Classroom a look. There are some new features to classroom this year. Need some help getting started? This page by Alice Keener has lots of great resources.

The file size limit for attachments to CISD email has decreased to 5 MB. If you try to send a file over that size (this includes scanning from the copier to your email), it will not be sent. Consider using your CISD Google Drive account to send files over that size.

Need help with your technology? Please don't forget to put in a helpdesk request in Eduphoria.
