Brain POP Changes
Brain Pop announced they will no longer allow a universal log in and will only allow "single sign ons" - this means you will have to log in using your KCS credentials. I've sent directions about this previously, but KCS tech is also working on streamlining this and will be sending additional instructions.

How to Manage Your Parent Square Notifications
If you or a parent/guardian are not receiving text messages or emails from Knox County Schools about school closings or delays, it might be how you have your notifications or preferences set up in Parent Square. All of those texts and email notifications are controlled by the user now through Parent Square. The below document will explain how to check and change those notifications.

Creating Mastery Trackers for Canvas LMS Users
Creating Mastery Trackers for Canvas LMS Users
When using Canvas and Mastery Connect together, the best practice is to create your tracker from inside your Canvas course. If a course is cross-listed, cross-listing needs to occur BEFORE linking a Mastery Tracker.
Log in to Canvas and navigate to your course.
Out of the Canvas Course Navigation, click “Mastery Tracker.”
When you see the blindfolded panda, click “Link Mastery Tracker.”
Select “Create a new Tracker from a standard set” and then “Link.”
Provide information for Title, Subject, Core, and Class. Once you have completed each section, select “Link.”
Title: LEAVE All of the information as listed and add teacher last name to the very end. **This is the only way to ensure you receive the correct benchmark.**
SEE GREEN TABLE LISTED BELOW
Subject: Choose the correct subject from the table below.
Core: Select the standards based on the table below.
Class: Select the Class by grade level (K-8) or Class Title as listed in the table below.
*If you are adding a standard set that does not have a Mastery Connect Benchmark Assessment, please see the directions provided by your supervisor.
CHROMEBOOK WON'T TURN ON? TRY THIS FIRST!
Make sure it is plugged into power
Press and Hold down the refresh button (and do not let go until the Chromebook comes on)
While holding the refresh button - push the POWER button and let go - do not hold the power button
the power button for the touchscreens is on the left side near the power port
the power button for the non-touchscreens is on the top row of the keyboard on the right
The Chromebook should power on - once it powers on - let go of the refresh button
Always try plugging the power cord into both ports on the Chromebook - it can be charged from either side
A Different Way to Open Google Slides on your Promethean Panel
Don't like the new way your Google Slides open in Chromium with the latest update? This takes a few more steps, but if you set it up in the morning you can leave it open all day without opening and closing it.
Find your Google Slide in Google Drive and open it in Chromium
Once open click "FILE" on the toolbar - look near the bottom of the list and click on "PUBLISH TO THE WEB"
This will open another dialog box - click PUBLISH *if you have never published this file you will be asked if you want to publish - click OK
Your URL link will be highlighted in blue - you need to copy the ENTIRE URL link if you DOUBLE CLICK on it then you will get the option to COPY
OPEN A NEW TAB - Double click in the address bar of the new tab and CLICK PASTE
Hit ENTER - your "pubished" file will open and be ready for you to use - you will still have the controls in the bottom, but you will not lose your tabs at the top - you CAN close the original file now - nothing happens to it and you don't need it anymore
**sometimes when you paste the URL to open the published file you might get an error that it wasn't "published" - just go through the steps again and it will work - Promise!
Using a Google Slide on Your New Promethan Panel
Our panels have recently had some updates pushed to them. Some of the more noticeable differences you will see:
The time on the homescreen will be at the top of your board
In Chromium your webpages will default to a desktop site (if you don't want the desktop site - click on the 3 dots and click off the desktop site)
Your REMOTE is now a CLICKER!!!! It can be used to navigate within slide shows.
Other changes to the REMOTE include: freezing the home (panel) source in addition to an external source. This also applies to tapping the Freeze button on the front of the panel.
Your Google Slides will probably look different - it connects to Office.com now and opens in the full version of Google Slides!
