5 Techie Things You Need to Know
1.
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Edmond Public School's devices and accounts are for professional use only. Please use your personal emails for non-instructional platforms like Zillow, Etsy, Facebook, etc!
2.
Student Safety Comes First
Our content filtering system blocks inappropriate content from our students. When attempting to access content that our system has categorized as "inappropriate," a blocked screen will appear.
3.
Check Before You Assign
In addition to our Content Filtering, we have limitations on YouTube. Our system does its best to automatically categorize channels as "educational," which are allowed for student viewing. When assigning videos to your students, check first using your site student demo account (ask your "Tech Spec") to confirm that students have access to that particular video.
4.
Smile, Your Teacher Is Watching
We have a chromebook monitoring platform called Blocksi installed for our teachers. This allows you as the teacher to see what is happening on student devices in real time! Our iPad monitoring platform is called Apple Classroom. Ask your site "Tech Spec" how to get started with Blocksi or Apple Classroom!
