Frequently Asked Questions

Google Classroom

How can I log in? I've never done this before!
- It's very straightforward! We've made a video to walk you through it, but the basics are: your username is [your student number]@lcerstudents.org. Your teacher should have a temporary password, or watch the video if you don't mind getting spoiled.
How do I turn in my assignments?
- We can walk you through turning in an assignment. Definitely check with your teacher first if you have any problems though, as there are a few different ways they might ask you to complete the assignments.

Security Questions

My email says my private information will be released if I don't pay someone BitCoin! What do I do?
- While extortion rackets aren't always bogus, a good rule of thumb is to never trust anything you receive by email. Ransomware is a real threat, but outside of Black Mirror episodes there isn't much precedent for "evil hackers" extorting bitcoin over alleged webcam footage. If you get an email like that, at work, school, or home, junk it! If you feel threatened by it despite it not really applying to you, change your passwords.
Should I open this attachment or click this link from this person I've never met before?
- No! Even be skeptical of links or attachments sent by people you do know! Always double-check where a link is taking you, and don't open an attachment unless you've spoken with the person who sent it.

General Troubleshooting

Experiencing trouble with your device? Power it off and turn it back on. It sounds cliche, too easy to be true, and is often referenced as a funny joke, but restarting a device is a time-tested technique to fix many issues. Before diving into troubleshooting, try restarting you device. You might be surprised how effective it is!
