  1. You will no longer be able to use Skype in any capacity.
  2. If your phones says to log into Communicator try rebooting your machine.
    1. If that doesn’t work, try unplugging and replugging in your phone.
    2. If that doesn’t work try shutting down and restarting Teams.
  3. You may not hear a dial tone.  That does not mean that the phone is not working.  Try dialing, either through the phone or through the calls button in Teams.
 
I am attaching a couple links for documents and videos that might answer some questions that I haven’t thought of.

Google forms has changed their restrictions:

Google has changed where the restrictions are in forms.  By default users OUTSIDE of @granitesd will NOT be able to view your forms.  This makes sense for child privacy reasons.  IF you want other people in the world (such as parents, community members, etc.) to access your form you must UNCHECK the “Restrict to users….” Button in the form settings.  This function used to be accessible when you shared the link, but not anymore.

New features for Spring 2021


Hey there 👋

We're excited to showcase the newest Screencastify features across all three of our products -- Record, Edit, and Submit!

Screencastify Record
New Recording Toolbar - The toolbar is brand new and now includes stickers, shapes, and tools to help your teachers capture and focus their students’ attention. And, teachers can minimize and move the toolbar anywhere they’d like.

Learn more >>

Screencastify Edit
New Blur Tool - Teachers can now blur anything on screen with just one click. This new tool can help your educators obscure private information, focus student attention, block out visual "noise", and so much more.

Learn more >>
 
 
New Title Clips - Title clips are available now. Have your teachers try using a title clip to give each video a name, break up their awesome content with descriptive clips, or allow students to see information in multiple modalities.
 
Learn how >>
 
 
Updated Text Tool (Coming Soon) - Soon, the text tool will be more flexible. Teachers will be able to drag and resize the text box anywhere on the clip. And, they’ll be able to add multiple text boxes to one clip.

Screencastify Submit
New Google Classroom Integration - Submit is fully integrated with Google Classroom. Your educators can create assignments that display in Classroom and receive all of the videos there, too. Teachers can also differentiate assignments based on class or student, grade in a flash, and provide better feedback within Classroom.

Learn more >>

Coming Soon: Viewer Analytics
We’re working on new functionality that will positively impact everyone creating and sharing videos!

A New Watch Page: We’ve created a new way to watch Screencastify videos. And, the best part is that videos load immediately.

Analytics: Our new Watch Page isn’t just lightning fast. It’s also packing a big punch. When you share the Watch Page link, you’ll be able to see who has watched your videos, when, and how many times.

Check out this rundown of the new features from Associate Product Manager, Jen Juang.

Using snip & sketch for screenshots

3/24/2021

0 Comments

 
​Have you ever wanted to save a screenshot for later, but have always had to drop it into a document or some other form to save it?  Here is a way to use the Snip & Sketch tool to save screenshots and use them in another document later.
  1. Go to Start and locate Snip & Sketch
Picture
      2.   Click on the name.  It will open the Snip & Sketch app.
Picture
     3.  In the top left corner click on “New”.  This will gray out your screens and give you the crosshairs.  Which you can then drag to incorporate the part of the screen you want in your image.
     4.  Once you let go it will open the Snip & Sketch window and give you the options to mark up and, save the image.
     5.  You can then click on the floppy disk icon in the top right and save to a file of your choice.
Picture
     6.  The shortcut keys for using Snip & Sketch are Shift +Windows +S.  These will work if you want to use a screenshot in a document you are creating and already have it open.
             a.  You can drop it directly into your document using the Ctrl +V paste shortcut.
​             b.  However, this will not give you the mark-up tools that are available, nor the option to save in another location.
What if I want a Screenshot of both screens?
  1.  This can also, be done but without the use of the Snip & Sketch tool.
  2. Use the Windows key +Print Screen.
  3. The screens will flash gray and take the capture of both screens.
  4.  This version will automatically save the screen shot (of both screens) in your Windows Pictures Folder under Screenshots.
