I'm LaTonya Martin, the Instructional Technology Specialist at Sneed!

This is my first year at Sneed! For the past 8 years my home campus was Alexander. I was a 4th grade self-contained teacher, so I know the challenges. My goal is to establish relationships and see when I can offer support. I may not know all the answers to your questions, but if I cannot we do have an AMAZING tech support department in Alief. The easiest way to reach them 281-498-8110 x 22530.

This website is intended to serve as a guide to help you troubleshoot your problems. I may not always be readily available and this resource is here to help you get answers in a timely fashion.

I look forward to helping you level up your Schoology usage and technology integration this year, as well as creating a Technology Action Team to keep me in the know of technology needs. I am excited to share my new journey with you!

With Love,

LaTonya Martin

Sign in to Zoom using https://zoom.us/ rather than downloading the app. You will have all of your necessary features.

If you are using an Alief Laptop, please connect to the Wifi using a hotspot as our network is not going to be able to maintain so much streaming. If you do not have a hotspot checked out to you, please check one out from Ms. Arteaga in the front office. It is to remain on campus. Multiples will not be checked out.

Did your students bring back a Chromebook where the parents logged in for them on their email? Or maybe the student just forgot their passwords? No worries! Powerwash it!

• Go to the log in screen (exit guest if you are on that profile)

• Hold down CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + R on the keyboard

• Click through to delete all data

• Set up WiFi (using a hotspot OR the AISDBYOD)

• Sign in using their Google Account-

If your students are unable to open Schoology on their Chromebook or run iStation, be sure that two things are happening...

1. Ensure the students are actually logged in to the Chromebook using their school Gmail account or if they are in the GUEST account (which will not function).

   1. Click on the Quick Settings Panel at the bottom right of your screen.

   2. You should see a window pop up. If it has the student's name- you are good! Proceed to the next step. If you see "guest", click exit and sign the student in before proceeding.

2. Ensure that the student has installed the iStation and Classlink Extensions. The easiest way to do this is simply google "istation extension" and "classlink extension" using the Chromebook, then click to install each.

1. Before beginning, please ensure that the student is logged in and not using the Guest account on the Chromebook. iStation only works when students are signed in as themselves. Guest accounts will not allow iStation to work.

2. Click on the time in the bottom right corner of the screen to bring up the menu.

3. Click on the gear icon for the settings.

4. On the left side of the screen click on "Apps".

5. Click on "Manage your apps".

6. In the list of applications, scroll down until you see "Istation". Click on it.

7. Click on the last choice for more options. It will open up a Chrome browser window.

8. In the upper right corner turn on "Developer Mode"

9. Three buttons will now appear in the upper left side of the screen.

10. Click on "Update".

• Dell Laptop

  • Username: ID Number

  • Password: Hub Password

• Chromebook

  • Username: ######@ga.aliefisd.net

  • Password: has been reset- try their Hub password. If that doesn't work, contact K Gonzalez.

Students on Chromebooks must utilize  the Alief ISD BYOD WiFi or their hotspot. Eventually, students will be able to utilize the AISD WiFi network. In the meantime, students must connect to the AISD BYOD network. Their login credentials are the same as their AliefHub credentials.

If students are unable to connect to the AISD BYOD network, please contact the help desk at extension 22530.

Student accounts will be updated regularly on the common drive.

Do not use the SNDSTUDENT log in for BYOD.
