It's the start of the second quarter! As we enter the second quarter I would like to encourage you to adopt a few best practices with your computer when you are having problems before you submit a SchoolDude ticket to get help.

First, make sure that you only have programs and internet tabs open that you are currently using. Leaving extra things open uses your computer's resources and slows down your computer. 
Second, restart your computer. You would be amazed the number of times that restarting your computer can actually fix the problem. Also, don't forget that restarting is not just closing it and opening it. You need to actually click the start menu, click the power options, and click restart. ​

Lastly, Updates! Windows 10 updates are important for your computer's health.

As always, I would love to discuss new ways to integrate technology in your classroom. Please let me know if I can help you!

Reopen Closed Tabs

Have you ever accidentally closed a tab that you still needed? Then you had to go log in to the platform again and navigate back to that page? In Edge and Chrome, you can just hit Control, Shift, and T at the same time to bring back the last tab that you closed.
