Video Transcription:
The video "How to Save PDF files to your Google Drive on a Promethean Panel" by Angela May, uploaded on March 8, 2022, is a short instructional video lasting 46 seconds. It explains the process of saving PDF files to Google Drive directly from a Promethean Panel. Key steps include:
Saving as PDF: On the Promethean Panel, you should select the 'Save as' option from the three dots menu and choose the 'PDF screenshot' option.
Saving to Device: Contrary to what might seem intuitive, instead of selecting 'Drive', you need to choose 'Save to device'.
Accessing Google Drive: After choosing 'Save to device', open Google Drive on the panel.
Selecting 'My Drive': In Google Drive, make sure to click on 'My Drive'.
Naming and Saving: Finally, name the file as desired, and it will be saved to your Google Drive.
Angela succinctly describes these steps, making it easy to follow for anyone looking to save PDF files from a Promethean Panel to Google Drive. | 2022-03-08T23:46:00 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Profile PIN and adding Google Drive
Set or change a PIN on your Teacher panel profile
User Profiles: Adding Security Your ActivPanel Titanium has User Profiles that enable multiple educators to make the most of a single ActivPanel. To create a PIN or password for a user profile, select the Unified Menu, then tap New User or Teacher, or your name if you have already renamed your profile. The default PIN set for profiles is 1111, if there's a teacher's old profile on the board who no longer uses it the default pin might let you use it. If there are no open profiles to use please call x3711 or submit a ticket and a tech will come assist you in setting up a new profile.
Go to Settings > More Settings > Security & Location and select Screen lock.
On Choose screen lock, select PIN
Choose between creating a PIN or a password. A PIN is a numeric code between 4 to 16 digits, whereas a password can be a combination of alphanumeric characters between 4 to 16 digits. Depending on your selection, input your PIN or password. Select Continue. You will be prompted to confirm your PIN or password. Tap OK. We strongly encourage you to have a minimum of a 6-digit code for protection of your profile account and all accessible tools associated with your account. Note - a forgotten PIN or password CANNOT be retrieve
When you're returned to the Security & Location screen, your form of security now displays under Screen lock. Use the arrow next to Security & Location to go back.
When you leave your panel unattended, lock your profile by selecting your Profile and clicking on the lock icon.
To sign out, select the Unified Menu, then User, and sign out.
You will be returned to the Sign-in screen. When you select your profile again to sign back in, you will be prompted to enter your PIN or password.
To change or remove your PIN or password, sign in to your user profile. From the Unified Menu, tap Locker. Select the Settings tab, then More Settings. Tap Security & Location. Select Screen Lock. You will be prompted to enter your existing PIN or password once more. From here, select None to remove the security altogether, or tap PIN or password to change your pin or password. If you want to stay signed into your @psd401.net account (Google Workspace) on this profile, you should have a PIN set up and lock your panel any time you are not in the room.
Personalize the Teacher profile with your name. Select gear and click on name to add your name
If you need an additional profile added, please submit a ticket in Service Central. | 2022-02-07T16:20:12 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 4 | 14 | 1 | 0 |

Aliases:
The Promethean Screen Share Chrome Extension is automatically installed whenever a student or teacher logs into a Chromebook.
If you are a staff member not using a Chromebook, you should be using the Promethean Screen Share Desktop Application. This is typically pre-loaded on your laptop, but if it isn't, you can use Chocolatey (Windows) or Self-Service (MacOS) to install it yourself.
This article is for students and teachers on a Chromebook, using the Chrome Extension.
If the user isn't seeing the Promethean Extension (where the extension icons are), it likely isn't 'pinned'.
1. Click on the puzzle piece icon in the upper-right corner.
2. It will bring up a list of extensions that are installed. Look for 'Promethean Screen Share'
3. Click on the pin icon to the right of Promethean Screen Share.
5. You can now click on the Promethean Screen Share Extension Icon to use it.
6. On the Promethean TV, open the 'Screen Share' app.
7. On the Chromebook, enter the Panel ID that is displayed on the Promethean TV.
8. Enter your name, then click 'Enter Waiting Room'
9. On the Promethean TV, you can then admit the student to share their screen by selecting their name, then 'share'.
Note: If you have a laptop, it would be better to use the Promethean Screen Share app (found in Self Service) because the app functions better on the laptop. Also, you can have touchback capabilities using the app. | 2021-06-04T19:08:52 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 1,723,511,456,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

She shows different methods, including embedding the file directly, adding it as a link, or using the 'Assign from App' feature for cases where students need to make their copies of a file.
Understanding File Types and Links: She explains the differences between embedding a file, adding it as a link, and allowing students to make their copies. Embedding keeps the content within Schoology, while a link opens the file in a new tab.
Student Perspective: The video also shows what these additions look like from a students perspective, illustrating how students can access and interact with these resources.
Permissions and Sharing Settings: Angela emphasizes the importance of checking and setting the correct permissions for the Google Drive files youre sharing in Schoology. She advises adjusting the sharing settings to ensure that the intended audience can view or edit the files.
Team Drive Considerations: Finally, Angela notes that files from Google Team Drive may not share correctly in Schoology. She recommends using files from 'My Drive' instead to ensure proper sharing and access within Schoology.
The video provides a comprehensive tutorial for teachers on how to effectively use Google Drive resources within Schoology, enhancing their digital classroom experience. | 2018-03-19T23:07:53 | 1,710,753,088,000 | 1,710,453,304,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 |

As of March 31, 2024, Google has updated its security policies concerning the integration between Google Drive apps with other apps, such as Schoology. Because of this update, the Schoology Google Drive Resource app is changing (for all users, including teachers and students).
In the last version of the Google Drive Resource app, you were able to access all of your Google Drive content directly in the app. The new changes will have you go through an extra step first by selecting the Google Drive content that you want to access in Schoology. The rest of the workflow will be the same.
Starting on 4th April, on opening the Google Drive Resource App, you will notice an additional option under Add Resources, that says Add files from Google Drive. Follow these steps:
1. Go to Resources at the top of the page.
2. Click on Apps on the left towards the button.

3. Under Add Resources click on the option that says Add files from Google Drive
4. When you click "Add files from Google Drive", a new pop-up will ask you to select files to share with Schoology. With the new file picker, you will be able to search, filter, and sort the files. And you can also change the view from Grid to List.
5. Click on a single file (shift + click to select more than one file, or Command + A to select all files in that folder) and then click on Select.
6. The file(s) you selected will show up on the list now. Next time you add a new assignment (or any material) via the Google Drive Resource App, you will only see the materials previously selected.
Note:
* You will not be able to select or add folders to the application and can only select specific files from the list.
* After you have selected the files from the dialog box, click on Select, and it will include those files and return to Schoology. Any document that was already added to materials or shared to a course will not be impacted by this, however, users will need to reselect materials for any new work.
* The files that have been shared with you on the Google Cloud will appear under the Shared with Me section on the top right of the resource app page after you have selected to include it.
* If the file is not previously selected to be used by the Google Drive Resource you will get an error message that says: You do not have sufficient permissions to import this file with a link.
- If this happens, please go to "Options" and click on "Account Settings".
- Sign in there (even if it says that you are connected with the right email address).
- Allow Schoology to access your Google Account
- Then you can try clicking on "Add files from Google Drive".

All courses and groups have a default image as the profile picture. As a Course or Group Admin, you can leave this default image, choose from a set of available images, or upload an image to serve as the profile photo for your course or group.
Customizing the profile images for your courses and groups can help users quickly identify your course or group when viewing the image tiles within the Course Dashboard, as well as the Courses and Groups drop-down menus.
Setting a profile photo in a course or group
Navigate to the desired course or group profile.
Hover over the image in the top left and click Edit Picture.
Select one of the preset images or click Attach File to select and upload an image from your device.
Optional: Click Edit Thumbnail to drag and resize the thumbnail version of the image. This is not the same thumbnail that appears in the Courses or Groups drop-down menu.
Once the picture has successfully been updated, a green banner will appear at the top of the course:
Remove a profile photo
Navigate to the desired course or group profile.
Hover over the image in the top left and click Edit Picture.
Click Remove Picture.
The profile image reverts back to the original default image.
What is the ideal image size for uploading a photo?
The tile images in the Courses and Groups drop-down menus will resize with your screen. These menus were built to be responsive, so there is not a hard-and-fast specification.
If you have specific content that you would like to remain visible in the drop-down menus, the best option is to create an image that is square with the desired content centered vertically and horizontally. For example, if you have a 350 x 350 pixel square image and place the content in the center (350 px by 100 px) of the image, the content should remain visible from the drop-down menu:

The video titled "Embed a Google Form in Schoology" by Donna Squires is a tutorial on how to embed a Google Form into Schoology. Here's a summary of the steps she demonstrates:
Starting with Google Form: Begin by opening your Google Form.
Using the Embed Option: Go to the 'Send' button of the form, and instead of choosing 'Mail' or 'Link', select the 'Embed' option.
Copying Embed Code: Click on 'Embed' to get the embed code. Highlight and copy this code, which is saved to the clipboard.
Going to Schoology: Navigate to a course in Schoology. Donna notes that you can embed the form as an assignment or a page, depending on whether you want it to be graded.
Creating an Assignment or Page: If it's an assignment, click on 'Add Assignment', give it a title (in the video, she names it 'Google Form'), and wait for it to load.
Inserting the Embed Code: Choose the 'Insert Content' option, then select 'Image/Media'. This option is for embedding content from the web. Paste the copied embed code in the provided field and click 'Insert'.
Finalizing and Viewing: After embedding, you may add additional directions if necessary. The embedded Google Form will be visible within Schoology, allowing students to complete it directly on the platform.
Accessing Form Results: The results of the Google Form will still appear in your Google Drive as usual, but the form is accessible and can be filled out by students within Schoology.
Donna concludes the tutorial by encouraging viewers to reach out if they have any questions about the process. This video is aimed at educators looking to integrate Google Forms into their Schoology courses for streamlined data collection and interaction with students.

Aliases: Google Drive assignments, Google button, Schoology Assignments,
There may be times when additional staff need access to Google Drive Assignments such as co-teachers, support instructors, or paraeducators. To do this you will need to give the staff person Share Permissions in the associated folder in your Google Drive.
Understanding the Google Drive Folder Hierarchy
The first time you create an assignment using the Google Drive Assignments app and a student opens it with the My Document button, a new folder called Schoology Google Drive Assignments automatically generates at the root level in your associated Google Drive. With each new assignment you create, new folders populate automatically with the following hierarchy:
A new folder for the course and section named CourseName: SectionName, plus a numeric identifier to ensure uniqueness, is added in the Schoology Google Drive Assignments folder.
A new folder with the Assignment name for its title, also appended with a numeric identifier, is added to the course/section folder.
Each time a student makes a copy of the file, it is added to the Assignment folder. The filename is the name you gave it with the student name appended to the beginning.
For example, if you created a new assignment called Grammar Review in Section 1 of an English 101 course, the folder structure would be Schoology Google Drive Assignments > English 101:Section 1+[numeric ID]. If course member Hannah Atkins then creates a copy of the file, it is named Hannah Atkins - Grammar Review+[numeric ID] and placed in the English 101:Section 1+[numeric ID] folder.
Important Note: You and your students should not delete, edit, or rename any of the folders created via the Schoology integration.
Giving Access Through Share Permissions in the Drive Folder
Go to the course folder in My Drive: Schoology Google Drive Assignments
Select Share for the folder you want to give access to.
Add the person's @edtools.psd401.net account and set the permissions as Viewer, Commenter, or Editor as needed.

Video Summary:
The video "Schoology Assignments and Google Drive integration" by Adam Watson provides a comprehensive demonstration of integrating Google Drive into Schoology assignments. Key points include:
Integration Features: Teachers can create Schoology assignments using Google Docs, Sheets, or other Google files. This integration automatically generates individual copies for each student in the course, who can then edit and submit their work via Schoology.
Teacher's Perspective: The video shows how teachers can add an assignment in Schoology and attach a Google Drive file. Initially, they may need to authorize Schoology to access their Google Drive files. The process of searching for and attaching files to an assignment is also demonstrated.
Student Submission Process: The student's experience in submitting the assignment is illustrated with a live example. Changes made by the student are visible in real-time to the teacher.
Google Drive Organization: A new folder named "Schoology Google Drive Assignments" is created in Google Drive to organize the assignments. This folder contains sub-folders for each course and specific assignment, with each student submission saved as a separate document, prefixed with the student's name for easy identification.
Benefits and Conclusion: The integration closely resembles Google Classroom and is praised for its efficiency and ease of use. The video concludes with an encouragement to utilize this feature for educational purposes and a thank you to the student assisting in the demonstration.

The Google Drive Assignments app within Schoology allows you to assign Google Docs to your students in a systematic way that provides an individual copy of the doc to each student and makes for easy teacher feedback and grading. The directions linked below provide a step-by-step directions on how to use the Google Drive Assignments app.
https://support.schoology.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008543287-Using-the-Google-Drive-Assignments-App?fbclid=IwAR0_ka5JS5latEbXQ_sj5IlbJkuienvwBZNyuf5a9esej65Jh9-pzCceXEc&mobile_site=true
How to create an Assignment using the App
Instructors can add content from their Google Drive accounts directly from within a Schoology Assignment.
Create an Assignment using the Google Drive Assignments App
From the Courses menu at the top of the screen, select the course in which you're adding the assignment.
Click the Add Materials button at the top of your Course Materials page. You can also access the Add Materials button from within a folder.
Click Add Assignment.
From the Create Assignment screen, click Google Drive Assignments to open your Google Drive.
If necessary, click Connect to approve the app and log in to your Google account.
Note: Instructors and Students must also be logged into a Google account through their browser to work on and submit assignments using the Google Drive app.
Enter words or phrases in the Search pane to filter your results. Enclose phrases in single quotes (apostrophes) to search for that exact phrase. Items matching your search terms populate automatically in the results list.
Select the file from your Drive to attach it to the assignment. When your students access your Schoology assignment, they will be able to make a copy of this file that they can work on and submit back to you from directly within Schoology.
You can only choose one Google file per Schoology Assignment. To choose a different file, click the x in the right margin to delete the current file, then re-open the Google Drive Assignments App to select another file from your Drive.
Fill in the rest of the assignment and click Create to finish. Note that once you click Create, you can no longer remove the selected Google file from your assignment.
Google Permissions & the Schoology Google Drive Assignment App
Creating the assignment automatically creates a new folder structure in your Google Drive, which Schoology uses to organize student copies of the file to make it easier for you to keep your Drive organized. It is important that you do NOT delete or rename any of the new folders in your Drive.
Creating an assignment in Schoology does not make any changes to the permissions on the instructor's original Google Document.
The instructor has the option to select any file in their Drive account (they can use a file they own with any level of permission, or any file that has been shared with them). When each student accesses the Schoology Assignment, a unique copy of that original file is created. Each copy is shared with the instructor and the respective student and can then be edited, annotated, and graded from directly within Schoology.
A primary teacher and a co-teacher cannot both grade student work submitted via Google Drive Assignments. Since we are leveraging Googles permission-sharing capabilities, at this time, all student copies are only shared with the teacher who created the assignment and the student who opens it. All other visitors to the course, whether co-teachers, admins, advisors, will not be able to see the submission. As a workaround, the course admin who created the assignment can share to any co-teachers and other faculty directly from Google Drive. All student copies are organized into Google Drive folders by course and assignment. This way, the primary teacher may push out all assignments to students in Schoology and share submissions directly from Google Drive via the folder with all student work to the co-teacher. The co-teacher can then view the assignments through Google Drive directly.
Set share permissions for the whole course folder or only the assignments that need to be shared.
Google Drive Folder Hierarchy
The first time you create an assignment using the Google Drive Assignments app, a new folder called Schoology Google Drive Assignments automatically generates at the root level in your associated Google Drive. With each new assignment you create, new folders populate automatically with the following hierarchy:
A new folder for the course and section named CourseName: SectionName, plus a numeric identifier to ensure uniqueness, is added in the Schoology Google Drive Assignments folder.
A new folder with the Assignment name for its title, also appended with a numeric identifier, is added to the course/section folder.
Each time a student makes a copy of the file, it is added to the Assignment folder. The filename is the name you gave it with the student name appended to the beginning.
For example, if you created a new assignment called Grammar Review in Section 1 of an English 101 course, the folder structure would be Schoology Google Drive Assignments > English 101:Section 1+[numeric ID]. If course member Hannah Atkins then creates a copy of the file, it is named Hannah Atkins - Grammar Review+[numeric ID] and placed in the English 101:Section 1+[numeric ID] folder.
Important Note: You and your students should not delete, edit, or rename any of the folders created via the Schoology integration.

Managing and Editing a Google Drive Assignment in Schoology
Once you click Create, the assignment will be available in the course.
Note: Once a student clicks My Document and creates their copy of the assignment, any changes made to the original document will not be reflected in the student copy. However, students who have not yet created their own copy will see the changes once they click My Document. See here for the Student View.
Click the gear icon in the right margin to make updates as you would with your other Schoology course materials.
Back to top
Instructor View
As an instructor, you have access to three tabs displayed at the top of the assignment. Each tab has additional controls and information. Click the links below to jump to a section, or scroll to keep reading.
Assignment
In Progress
Submissions
Assignment Tab
On the Assignment tab, you can:
See the due date and time.
See the assignment Description.
Open the Google file you selected in a new tab in your browser. Note: This is the file that your students will use to create their own copies of the file, and any edits you make do not automatically update in previously-created copies of the file. That is, only students who create their copy after you make the edits will have versions that contain the edits. Updates to the file are not reflected for students who've already made their copies.
Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.
Use the section switcher to change the course section you're viewing if you have linked sections taking the assignment.
In Progress Tab
Click In-Progress to see a list of all students who have not yet made an assignment submission. View a student's copy of your original document before they submit by selecting their name from the list of the In Progress tab.
Monitor the progress of your students before they submit. Provide feedback directly on submissions using the native Google Drive feedback tools.
Note: To open the student's copy of the document directly within Google Drive, click Open in the top right corner.
In Progress displays a list of both students who have clicked My Document and created their own copy of your Google file, as well as students who have not yet made their copy of the distributed file.
When you select a students name who has not yet clicked the My Document tab in their view of the assignment, the following message displays:
It looks like [students first name] has not opened this assignment yet. Once your student clicks on My Document, a copy of your original file will be created and the document will appear here.
Students can edit their files while submissions are still In Progress. Once students make a submission, they can no longer edit their files (from either Schoology or Google Drive). As the instructor and owner of the file, you will always have edit access to each of your students' files.
This copy displays when you select a student from the list in your In Progress tab until the student makes a submission. Once the student submits, his or her name and document display in the Submissions tab instead.
Submissions Tab
Submissions displays a list of students who have submitted the assignment. Select a students name to view his or her document.
From Submissions you may:
Click into the grade input field along the top of the document header to grade the submission, enter a score, or add a comment.
Click the Exceptions icon to apply an exception.
If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, click the rubric icon to open the rubric and add scores and comments for the assignment.
Click Unsubmit below the student name to move the assignment back into the In Progress tab and enable the student to continue working on the assignment.
Provide feedback using native Google features, including commenting and annotation tools, as well as advanced editing tools like insert math formula and insert charts.
Note: Insert image is not supported at this time.
Use the filter along the top of your list of students to filter by:

Student View
The student view of the Google Submission Assignment displays the Assignment and My Document tabs.
Note: If the student view is not displaying, ensure that third-party cookies are not being blocked on the devices and/or browsers used to access Google Drive assignments.
The Assignment tab displays the Assignment Description, including the due date. If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, it also displays in this tab.
Students must click the My Document tab to generate their copies of your Google Drive file.
Back to top
Student Experience
Students have access to two tabs displayed at the top of their assignment: Assignment and My Document. Clicking the My Document tab will generate a copy of the original file that will then be shared between you (the instructor) and the student. This copied file will then be placed and organized in your drive.
In the Assignment tab, students can:
See the due date and time.
See the assignment Description.
Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.
Students click the My Document tab in their view of the assignment to create their own copy of your original file. As the instructor, you are the owner of the document in Google, and the file is shared with your students.
Note: When accessing Schoology via a web browser, students must be logged into their own Google Drive accounts through their browser in order to create a copy of your original file.
Back to top
Submitting Assignments
Once students authorize the app and log into their Google Drive account through their browser, they can edit their file from within Schoology.
Click Submit Assignment at the top of the document to submit.
Students may no longer edit the Google file after submitting the assignment. Instead, any edits a student makes after submitting the assignment are added as "suggestions" to the Google file. Teachers can review the suggestions to approve or deny the edits that were suggested after submitting the assignment.
However, students may click Unsubmit at any time before the due date, and before you have graded their work. This includes applying an exception code.
Unsubmitting an assignment returns it to In Progress in your view of the assignment as the Instructor. When an assignment is unsubmitted, the student re-gains edit access to the file and may continue working on the assignment.

When blocking websites on request, please block it in three policies:
1. All Students Policy (will block for any Student that is signed into a Chromebook, or the Chrome browser on macOS / Windows, or Edge / Safari when a Student is signed in).
2. Default Policy (will block in Safari / Edge, when Students are not signed into Securly).
3. Guest Network Policy (will block on Student phones / Guest Devices). Keep in mind this will affect personal Staff phones as well.
Note: NEVER include the https:// - you only need the domain.
Note: You typically will need to include the domain as well as a wildcard before the domain as a separate entry.
So if you wanted to block Reddit.com, you should not only add reddit.com but *.reddit.com as well.
The last one isn't 100% needed, but generally a good idea depending on what website has been requested to be blocked. If we don't want Students accessing proxy bypass websites on Chromebooks, we probably don't want them accessing those sites on a personal phone either.
One-off Website Block Requests
Generally, it's fine to block websites for teachers if it's obvious that the content is not appropriate for Students, or if it's a game website, etc. They submit a ticket, you briefly evaluate the website, and then block it.
Note: If they're wanting major websites blocked (YouTube, Gmail, etc), or multiple websites blocked for a Student (that other Students may be using), or want the Student to operate off of an allow list (i,e "I want them to only be able to access website 1, website 2, and website 3") - these kinds of request need to come from a building Administrator. They also need some sort of improvement plan in place. And it's to be communicated that the block we put in place is temporary, and will be removed after the behavior/improvement plan has been realized. This is all per Kris.
Note: It's also good to lead with with the resources we have available already:

The quickest, best way to verify Securly is working, is by navigating to unsafewebsite.com in either Edge / Safari / Chrome.
It should look like this:
If you click 'Show more' - it will tell you what method of filtering is taking place (SmartPAC / Extension).
Example of Securly not working when going to unsafewebsite.com:
macOS - SmartPAC Filtering (Safari + Chrome)
On macOS, you can verify SmartPAC is installed by navigating to:
(Monterey and older) - System Preferences > Profiles > Securly Certificate 2034
(Ventura and newer) - System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Profiles > Securly Certificate 2034
If a Configuration Profile called 'Securly Certificate 2034' is visible, SmartPAC is installed. The Configuration Profile installs the Securly Certificate and configures SmartPAC. We have our own unique SmartPAC identifier for our district, which is in the config profile.
In Jamf, the above Configuration Profile can be found (as that is how it is deployed).
You can verify the Securly Certificate got installed by going to Keychain Access and looking for the 2034 Securly Certificate:
Securly also recommends pushing out a seperate securly_certificate_installer_macos.pkg - only for Firefox. In my own personal experience, this never actually worked properly with Firefox to ensure it was filtered. In fact - Securly's own best advice is to not use Firefox as they refer to it as a 'non-enterprise friendly browser'. That was straight from their engineer. Their wording on the .pkg noted above, just for reference: "Note that the latest update to macOS Big Sur does not allow the SSL pkg to work for all browsers equally. While you can use the following process to push the package to trust the certificate in Firefox, you would need to push it as a configuration profile in your MDM for Chrome and Safari."
Windows - SmartPAC Filtering (Edge + Chrome)
On Windows, you can verify SmartPAC is installed by navigating to:

Chromebooks - Extension-based Filtering (Chrome)
We force-install the Securly Extension to all Chromebooks. Easy way to tell it's installed is going to chrome://extensions and look for the Securly extension.
Anyone, Staff or Student, will get the Securly extension, upon logging into a Chromebook. The Securly Extension is pushed out through the Google Admin console.

Blocking Websites
When blocking websites on request, please block it in three policies:
1. All Students Policy (will block for any Student that is signed into a Chromebook, or the Chrome browser on macOS / Windows, or Edge / Safari when a Student is signed in).
2. Default Policy (will block in Safari / Edge, when Students are not signed into Securly).
3. Guest Network Policy (will block on Student phones / Guest Devices). Keep in mind this will affect personal Staff phones as well.
This one isn't 100% needed, but generally a good idea depending on what website has been requested to be blocked. If we don't want Students accessing proxy bypass websites on Chromebooks, we probably don't want them accessing those sites on a personal phone either.
Overview of Policies
Guest Network Policy (DNS)
Any device on psd-open will get the Guest Network Policy, with the exception of Chromebooks. The Guest Network Policy does DNS-level filtering.
The Guest Network Policy applies to any device on psd-open that uses 52.9.127.56 and 52.52.89.151 for DNS servers, which is what everything uses by default. Those IP's are our private Securly DNS servers, specifically for our Guest Network Policy.
In other words, DHCP tells any device connected to psd-open to use those DNS servers.
Chromebooks: We do not want Chromebooks to use the Guest Network Policy, because it overrides Extension-based filtering, and any Custom Policies we have set (All Students, etc). The workaround we implemented to leave Chromebooks on psd-open, but still have the Securly Chrome Extension function:
Specify Chromebooks must use Securly's public US-West DNS servers (50.18.216.174 and 50.18.216.175) in Google Admin:
When Chromebooks use Securly's Public DNS servers, our Guest Network Policy stops taking precedence. In order for them to use Securly's Public DNS servers, the Securly certificate must be installed on all Chromebooks, which it is.
Base/Default Policy (SmartPAC)
The Default Policy applies mainly to macOS and Windows computers where the user is not signed into Securly, in a web browser. It does not apply to Chromebooks, because people are forced to Sign-into Chromebooks with their PSD Google Account, and will then get the Securly Chrome Extension. So anyone using a Chromebook should always get either 'All Students' / 'All Staff' / or a Custom Policy.
Note: There is no 'Allow' list for the Default Policy. This is because Securly intends for users to 'Sign in with Google' when getting a Securly block page and they aren't signed in. Once they sign into Securly, they would be able to access sites that are on the allow list.
Note: If there is a website that is blocked for the Default Policy, that younger students use (where Signing into Securly with Google may be more difficult / time intensive) - you can add this website to the Global Allow list. This will make it so nobody needs to Sign into Securly to access it.
Note: If there is a link that you have blocked in the three listed policies, and it is still not being blocked when the user accesses it, then it is most likely that the domain for that website is on the Global Allow List. Evaluate if it is ok to have it there, if not, delete it from the Global Allow list.
We force Sign-in of the Chrome browser on macOS and Windows. So it is unlikely someone on macOS or Windows, using Chrome, will get the Default Policy.
The Default Policy mainly applies to people using Safari or Edge, where we do not force Sign-in. Staff are free to use Safari or Edge for personal accounts.
They will just get the Default Policy until they hit a website that is blocked by the Default Policy; they will get a Securly block page and be prompted to 'Sign in with Google' - which they can, with their PSD account, and then the PSD
Once the Student or Staff member uses the 'Sign in with Google' option with their PSD account, they will then get the 'All Students' / 'All Staff' / or applicable Custom. Policy.
All Students / All Staff / Custom Policies (SmartPAC + Extension)
Anyone signed into a Chromebook will get their respective Custom Policy. Staff members get 'All Staff', Students get 'All Students', and certain Students get applicable Custom Policies as directed to us by building admin.
Generally, the above is also true for anyone signed into Google Chrome on Windows and macOS. If a Student or Staff member reach a Securly block page in Edge or Safari, they can 'Sign in with Google' which will then change them from 'Default Policy' to their respective Custom Policy.
PSD E-Sports (DNS)
This is a custom IP-based DNS filtering policy that applies to any device that is connected to a specially configured network switch that is dedicated for E-Sports usage. The main difference is that devices plugged into this switch can access Gaming / E-Sports websites, where they would normally be blocked otherwise.
Global Setttings (DNS / SmartPAC / Extension)
The Global Settings policy overrides all other policies. We only add sites here that we want either blocked or unblocked everyone. Adding a website even to an allowlist here can cause Securly to start proxying it, which can cause issues. Adding certain Google URL's can break Google Workspace access. Add sites to the Global Allow list with caution. We've added certain search terms like 'Securly Killer', 'Securly Unblocker', and certain Securly-Exploit related websites to the Global Block list. On the flip side, there are certain websites that Securly has categorized as 'Gaming' that young (Kindergarten - 2nd Grade) Students use, and teachers have requested they be unblocked. We unblock these websites at the Global level so that younger Students using iPads don't have to Sign into Securly to access websites.
Other General Filtering Information
Social Media
Social media is still being blocked on the firewall - for psd-open only - at this point in time. Websites like Facebook.com and Reddit.com are still being blocked by the firewall. Their respective mobile apps will likely not function either as part of the block. Please contact the Network Administrator with questions. There are plans to enact a captive portal so that if a Staff member signs into this captive portal, they can access social media. However this is not built out yet.
Device Level vs. Network Level Filtering
psd-open
We filter psd-open at a network level. This means DNS-based filtering as well as firewall-based filtering. Chromebooks (which are on psd-open) are filtered at a device-level using the Securly Chromebook extension. If they somehow disable the Securly Extension, they should still get filtered at a network level via DNS and Firewall filtering.
psd-auth
There is no network-level filtering on psd-auth. This is because it's assumed only district-managed devices are on psd-auth. And all district-managed devices get filtered at a device level (Securly SmartPAC filtering).

6,000,039,824 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | Securly | 1 | 2 | Staff - Accessing Personal Google Accounts | 110 | Due to Securly restrictions that prevent Students from signing into personal Google accounts, Staff need to authenticate through Securly before being able to sign-into their personal Google accounts.
Note: Multiple profiles in Google Chrome will not work. Therefore it is preferable that Staff use Edge or Safari for personal accounts, and leave Chrome as just their PSD Google Account.
If you must use multiple accounts in Google Chrome, a personal account can be added as a separate account. This is different than a separate profile (see the screenshot in Step 3).
To access a personal Google Account:
1. Not 100% required, but it's a good idea to clear cache & cookies to begin with.
Chrome:
Safari: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/1835/
Edge (Steps 1-4): https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2010/
2. Go to 888.com
You will get a Securly block page. This is expected behavior.
Click on the 'Sign in with Google' button and sign-in with your PSD Google Account (not personal account)
3. Now that you're signed into Securly, you can go to gmail.com / drive.google.com / etc and add your personal account.
Go to the top right corner, click on your profile > 'Add account' - and authenticate with your personal account.
4. You should now have your personal account successfully added. | 2024-03-27T20:36:08 | 1,723,128,957,000 | 1,723,128,957,000 | None | 2 | 14 | 0 | 0 |

6,000,040,279 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | Software / Imaging | 1 | 2 | FileVault + Using Personal Recovery Keys (PRK) | macOS, FIleVault | We are currently enabling FileVault on 1:1, non-NoMAD Laptops only. There are no plans to roll out FileVault to any Desktops, NoMAD, or Jamf Connect computers.
There is a Configuration Profile in Jamf that will be used to enabled FileVault. We will be using Personal Recovery Keys (PRK) that get escrowed to Jamf. This means there is a unique key for each computer. If the user forgets their password, TSD can bypass FileVault with the Personal Recovery Key. The users password can then be reset. We are hiding PRK's from the end-user as the consensus is this is best practice. Another reason is that if a user is given their PRK and boots into recovery with it, they can reset the password for the Administrator account. We want to be the only one that can decrypt FileVaulted drives. The keys rotate after they're used, so they can be given out over the phone.
New Enrollments: We are forcing FileVault to be enabled during Setup Assistant, during Enrollment (and before their first login). Only Sonoma supports this feature, so we really need all outgoing computers to be on Sonoma.
Existing Enrollments: On computers that are already enrolled, users will be forced to enable FileVault on Login. If they click 'Cancel' - they are directed back toward the login screen.
Configuration Profile:
Existing Enrollments + Ventura & below:
Users with computers that are already enrolled and in-use will see this pop-up after FileVault is rolled out, upon their next login (so if they do a reboot, or their uptime is >14 days and a reboot is forced, etc). If they click cancel, they are directed back to the login screen. This forces them to enable FileVault.
If they click 'Enable Now' - they will then see this:
They can just click continue. Note: They do need to be connected to AC power to complete the encryption process:
Once FileVault has been fully enabled and the drive is encrypted, it will look like this in System Settings:
New Enrollments (Sonoma & above):
A new feature in Sonoma is the ability to FileVault a Disk during Setup Assistant / Enrollment Process - even before the user has logged in for the first time. This makes things cleaner and more streamlined. The prompt they will see looks like the below screenshot.
Notice they do not have the ability to uncheck the box. This is ensuring FileVault is enforced.
Using Personal Recovery Keys to Unlock a FileVaulted Disk
All Devices should have their PRK escrowed to Jamf after FileVault has been enabled. In Jamf, pull up a computer, then click on Disk Encryption and then you will see the below. For Personal Recovery Key - click 'Show Key' for the computers PRK to be displayed.
There are differences in the process for leveraging the Personal Recovery Key between Intel and Apple Silicon.
Apple Silicon: At the FileVault Login Screen, press the following three keys together Option + Shift + Enter.
The screen will change from a Username + Password prompt to a Recovery Key prompt. Enter the Recovery Key as per the above image.
Once the recovery key is entered it will unlock the FileVaulted disk. At this point you could login with the Administrator account, even if it has never been logged into before. The disk is unlocked at this point.
You can also boot into recovery to reset the end-users password or Administrator password. Below is the next screen after entering the Recovery Key (FileVault is effectively unlocked at this point):
After booting into Recovery, you will be prompted for the PRK again:
After you've put the PRK in again here, you will be prompted to reset either of the existing Local Accounts:
If you've chosen to reset one of these passwords, it will look like this after:
Intel: If the end-user or yourself on the computer enters an incorrect password, you will get a prompt to reset it using a Recovery Key:
Note: In Ventura and below, when a disk is FileVaulted, it will show a list of users who possess a Secure Token and can unlock the disk (like in the below image). In Sonoma and above, it will show username and password all the time, even if the disk is in an encrypted state.
You should then enter the Personal Recovery Key to unlock the disk. From there, you can sign in as Administrator (even if Administrator has never signed into this computer).
Once the disk is unlocked, if they still enter an incorrect password again, it will show this prompt:
You can select 'Restart and show password reset options' - it may prompt for Personal Recovery Key again.
You can then reset their password, or Administrator password, as needed.
Question: I need to sign into a Staff members Laptop using the Administrator account to do some work / update it / etc. The Administrator account has never been signed into previously, and therefore doesn't have a SecureToken. The Laptop is in an encrypted state. How can I sign-in with Admin?
Answer: Simply use the Personal Recovery Key for that computer to unlock FileVault, and you can then login as Administrator from there. | 2024-05-31T22:39:31 | 1,719,524,968,000 | 1,719,524,968,000 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

After that has been pushed, you will need to:
Add that computer to the AD group 'Bookkeepers'.
Add the end-user to the AD groups 'PSD-POS' and 'PSD-POS-StudentStore'

USB printers should have the appropriate driver built in.
For Parallel printers, you will likely need to add the OPOS drivers version 2.66.
I'm not exactly sure how silent install works for the OPOS drivers. It looks like you need to build a registry file as part of the silent install process. See page 44: https://www.bluestarinc.com/techsupport/epson/Epson%20Drivers/WINDOWS_DRIVERS/TM_T88V_CD/Windows/OPOS%20ADK/267T88V/Installer.pdf
If someone wants to take a crack at building out a silent OPOS driver install, be my guest.
The file path above should be the newest OPOS driver - manually install it.
You should then be able to go into InTouch settings for final configuration if needed and be able to send a test print to the receipt printer. This is a final test that it's working as expected.

6,000,040,481 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | Software / Imaging | 1 | 2 | Jamf Connect | Jamf Connect, macOS | Jamf Connect is a paid product that is replacing NoMAD. It allows for multiple users to sign into the same macOS computer.
Jamf Connect consists of two seperate pieces; Jamf Connect Login Window and Jamf Connect Menu Bar.
Login Window: Connects to an identity provider (IdP) and creates a local account for a user after they have authenticated with the IdP.
Menu Bar App:
Automatically launches on login and runs in the background.
The menu bar piece checks every 30 minutes to ensure the local password is in sync with the cloud password. If it isn't, the end-user will just need to enter their current cloud password (i,e the password that will log them into the ClassLink portal).
In the case of Jamf Connect, we are using Entra as the Cloud IdP. The Entra password is synced with ClassLink, Google, on-prem AD, etc.
When a user logs in, the login window piece passes their password to the menu bar piece, and automatically signs them in there.
The menu bar piece pop-up pictured below will not display unless their cloud password is no longer in sync with their local password. The username is always auto-filled.
Also take note of the Jamf Connect Menu Bar icon, which is visible when it is running (which should be always).
With NoMAD, users were authenticating with on-prem Active Directory. Signing in for the first time had to be at school, on psd-auth (formerly psd-closed). With Jamf Connect, users are authenticating with Microsoft Entra. We sync our on-prem AD to Entra. Users can log in for the first time anywhere there is an internet connection. This is one of a couple benefits of Jamf Connect. It's also being actively developed (NoMAD is a project that has been completely abandoned) - so if Apple were to make a major change to the macOS Login Window, Jamf would fix Connect. NoMAD would be hosed.
I tested using Google, ClassLink, and Entra as the Identity Provider (IdP) for Jamf Connect. I determined Entra to have the best user experience. There were various limitations with the other IdP's that resulted in a less-than-stellar end-user experience. On paper, Google would have worked adequately, except for the part highlighted below:
This limitation means that we can't use Google LDAP for the Jamf Connect menu bar piece, for keeping passwords in sync. We point Google Workspace to ClassLink as our primary IdP, which is then considered by Google as a 'third-party IdP' for SSO.
Login Window
The new Jamf Connect login window looks like the above. This is a customized, personalized Microsoft Entra login screen. You can now select a WiFi network from the login window, whereas you could not before with NoMAD. Cloud logins are forced unless there is no internet connectivity, in that case it knows to automatically fall back to local login, and switches the login screen to local login.
For logging in with the Administrator account, simply click 'Local login' and then authenticate in with the Administrator account + LAPS like you normally would.
It is set to automatically reinstall the Jamf Connect login window when a major macOS upgrade happens. When macOS does a major upgrade (ie Ventura > Sonoma) - a third party login window will break. This is an inherent problem with all third-party login systems. With NoMAD, we were monitoring for broken login windows and reinstalling NoMAD + restarting the computer, automatically. If the built-in measure to reinstall the Jamf Connect login window doesn't work in practice, we can use the approach we did for NoMAD.
When a user authenticate through Microsoft Entra, the Jamf Connect Login Window portion creates them a local account. It passes their password through to the Menu Bar piece. As explained earlier, the menu bar piece automatically launches on login and runs in the background. It will periodically check every 30 minutes to ensure the cloud password is in sync with the local macOS password.
Password Changes
Testing password change behavior with NoMAD - I realized that if someone logs into a computer, then logs out, and has their password changed - when they log back into the same computer, their old password will still work. Their new password won't work. They are not prompted to update their password or anything. I believe this is because NoMAD couldn't write-back to AD and we may have never had it fully configured.
The behavior and user experience in regards to password changes and Jamf Connect is a little different than NoMAD. Let's say the same scenario as described above happens, but this time on a computer with Jamf Connect. When the user goes to sign into a computer they have already signed into in the past, but has had their cloud (ClassLink/Entra/Google) password changed since then - the Jamf Connect will prompt them to enter their old password. It will then update their local password to the current cloud password. But they do have to remember what their previous cloud password was in order to sign into the account again. Worst case, we can reset their local password.
Jamf Connect prompt for when a users cloud password has changed since they've signed into a macOS computer. This prompt is asking them for the previous cloud password:

Note: If this is a brand new laptop, by default it will go to the PSD (Laptop) PreStage. You will need to take it out of there for it to show up when adding it to the appropriate PreStage.
1. First, ensure the device is in the appropriate Jamf Connect PreStage (Shared Laptop, Shared Desktop, or Lab).
2. Proceed through Setup Assistant on the re-imaged or brand new macOS device - Connect to psd-open, etc.
3. You will then get presented with the below login screen. Authenticate as serv_shareddeviceusr
Note: The password is in BitWarden. It's the old Administrator password.
Note: It is very important you're using serv_shareddeviceusr here or the Bootstrap Token won't get escrowed, etc.
4. It will take a minute or two to install Profiles and such at the Remote Management screen:
5. Proceed past the 'Select Your Time Zone' - what you do here doesn't matter, we deploy a configuration profile to turn automatic time zone on.
6. After continuing, the screen may go black for ~one-or-two minutes. This is Jamf Connect being installed and is normal.
7. After the screen returns from being black, you should see our PSD-customized Jamf Connect Login Window:
At this point, you just need to wait for all the software to get installed. This process typically takes anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes, but can take longer depending on network connection.
Note: If you enrolled the computer and it's been a couple minutes and no enrollment policies have started yet, occasionally computers need a 'kickstart' to trigger Enrollment Complete policies to start running.
The quickest and easiest way to Kickstart a computer to run enrollment policies is to do the API Framework reinstall mentioned in this solutions article: https://psd401.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/6000035017
Important Note:
Do not power down the computer / put it to sleep / close the lid - until it has a macOSLAPS password populated in Jamf.
It's safe to assume the computer is ready-to-go after the policies 'Zoom (Enrollment Push)' and 'zz_Create Administrator Account + Run macOSLAPS (Enrollment Push)' have completed successfully, as those are the last to fire off.
The other main important thing is that the Bootstrap Token got escrowed. Once a LAPS password is populated, Bootstrap Token Status should show 'Escrowed'. You don't necessarily have to check this one on every computer, but it's a good thing to spot check.
A 100% ready-to-go Jamf Connect computers should:
Have a macOSLAPS password populated in Jamf.
Show 'Bootstrap Token Status' of 'Escrowed' in Jamf.
Show a customized PSD Jamf Connect Login Window.
Have all of our software (Chrome, Drive, Zoom, etc).

Aliases:
10/22/24 - Update: I found another way that can potentially be used to remotely fix the S1 Agent. To prevent needing to put hands on it + booting into Safe Mode. See: Quicker Method (Try first)
Detecting Failed SentinelOne Agents
The SentinelOne Agent Service is being monitored using PDQ Inventory and manual remediations are being made based off of that:
In the near future, we may also be enforcing active SentinelOne Agents (if it's a Windows computer) in order to be on psd-auth. There is a SentinelOne integration for PacketFence that can check to ensure the computers SentinelOne Agent is active each time it joins psd-auth.
In addition to the above, problem Agents can be ones that are Online, but do not have S1 Console Connectivity.
For example, if a computer shows online in PDQ Connect, or you know for a fact that it's online with internet, but it shows 'Console connectivity: Offline' in SentinelOne, it probably needs repairing.
Repairing Failed SentinelOne Agents
Repair Method #1 - Quickest Method (Try First)
Note: Sometimes, the Agent can be fixed with a simple reboot, so I would try that first.
There is now a package in PDQ Connect called 'SentinelOne - Check Agent Status' - you can push this to the problem computer to confirm the Agent issue. If a computer can't join psd-auth, flip to psd-open temporarily.
After pushing the above to the computer, go to the Deployments section, find that push, and click the 'Completed' button to see the logs:
This is an example of a computer where the S1 Agent isn't working properly for whatever reason. This can occasionally happen on a very small number of devices. The above computer popped up into the PDQ Inventory group, making it easy to spot, and know to fix.
Note: I have seen a computer that was not communicating with the S1 management console, but the above showed that everything was fine and running. So the 'Check Agent Status' isn't quite 100% at telling you if it's hosed or not. The ultimate way of checking is ensuring the endpoint is still active in the S1 console / 'Console connectivity = Online'. Also, I did the quicker repair method on this one and it didn't work.
After confirming that the Agent isn't working (not a 100% necessary step, but prudent), you will need the devices specific passphrase.
1. Login to SentinelOne: https://usea1-015.sentinelone.net/dashboard
2. Click on Sentinels:
3. Filter by Endpoint name, search for the one you're looking for, hopefully it's in the search results.
Note: If it isn't in the results, that means it's been hosed for more than 3 weeks and got decommissioned.
You can still click View More Filters > Look for the Decommissioned filter and add it, then sort by Decommissioned - this should find it.
4. Click on the Endpoint, search actions for 'pass' you should see Show Passphrase and have permissions to view it. Select that button and copy the Passphrase (long string of random words).
5. Go back to PDQ Connect. Look for the package called SentinelOne - Enable / Repair Agent
In this package, look at the script for the variable $Passphrase - simply replace any existing passphrase (if there is one) with the one you copied from the step above. These are device specific codes.
It should look like below. Push the package to the affected computer:
6. Go to the Deployments tab and click Results for the push you just did. Scroll all the way down to find the results. Hopefully it looks like below:
7. Go back to the SentinelOne Console and back to the problem device. You may need to refresh the page and possibly reboot the computer, but in my experience I didn't need to reboot the computer.
It should now say the below:
If it doesn't, you will likely need to put hands on it and proceed with the fix below.
Along with Console connectivity showing Online, if you were to run the SentinelOne - Check Agent Status package again on the computer you successfully fixed, the results should look like below:
Repair Method #2 - Safe Mode - Guaranteed 100% Chance of Fixing
Start by copying SentinelOneInstaller.exe and workstationtoken.txt from \\fs2\holdingtank to the Local Administrator's Desktop. (C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop)
To connect to \\fs2, just use your standard credentials.
After youve copied those two files over, you will need to boot the computer into Safe Mode.
Note: I have had one or two times where I performed the below fix without booting into Safe Mode - and it uninstalled SentinelOne, rebooted, and SentinelOne had reinstalled itself and was fixed. So you can try the fix without the computer being in Safe Mode, just know it may not work and throw an error that it needs to be in Safe Mode.
This step can be done by an end-users account (if theyre already logged in, otherwise just do it as local admin)
Type msconfig and click on System Configuration
In the System Configuration menu, select Safe boot (Minimal) - hit OK, and then restart when prompted.
Once the computer comes back in Safe Mode, login as local admin .\Administrator
After logging back in as local admin in Safe Mode, open up the command prompt as Administrator.
Type cd C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop
Then, type SentinelOneInstaller.exe -c -t <workstation token here without brackets>
And hit enter. Workstation Token in in workstationtoken.txt
You may need to wait a minute or two for the cmd window to look like it's doing anything!
The SentinelOneInstaller window doesnt pop up right away sometimes.
Wait for the SentinelOneInstaller cmd window to open. It should look something like this:
Or this:
Hopefully it did something like the above. If it did, open up msconfig again and uncheck safe mode, and then reboot back into normal mode.
Log back in as local admin to verify whether the above re-installed S1 and fixed it, or if it just did a clean uninstall (I have seen both happen).
If it just did a clean uninstall, you will see the Windows defender icon in the tray and not S1.
If this is the case, run SentinelOneInstaller.exe manually with the site token - double-click SentinelOneInstaller.exe and enter the Workstation token when prompted and go through install via the GUI.
If install was successful, you should be able to just reboot the computer and then verify SentinelOne shows protected with no issues (look for icon in tray and click it)
Now, just delete the initial two files you copied over (SentinelOneInstaller.exe and workstationtoken.txt), log out of Local Admin, and you should be all good.
If the S1 tray icon now looks good, you don't technically need to do this, but it wouldn't hurt to go into the S1 console, look the computer up by hostname, and see that it shows up and 'console connectivity' is recent (like within a few minutes). | 2023-04-06T16:42:21 | 1,729,880,948,000 | 1,729,880,948,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/configuration.html
In PDQ Connect, push Veyon Server to all endpoints to be monitored (Student computers). Install the Client (Master) on the computer that needs to observe (Teacher computer).
Veyon Configurator needs to be run as Administrator. After launching change:
1. General > Authentication > Method: Key file authentication
2. Authentication keys > Create key pair > Name it by School and/or Room
It will create two keys, public and private. Private only needs to be on observer/teacher computer. Public needs to be on all computers to be monitored.
Change the 'Access group' for both to 'Users' (BUILTIN\Users). I would recommend exporting both to \\vmnocappdqdep01\PDQ-Repository\Veyon\*Your_School* as a backup and to have handy.
If you're setting up Veyon on the observer/master/teacher computer, it only needs Private key
If you're setting up Veyon on a monitored/server/student computer, it only needs the Public key
You can set the Server up how you want it on a Student computer, and then go File > Save settings to File
You can then specify that config when pushing it in PDQ Connect with the parameter:
veyon-4.8.2.0-win64-setup.exe /NoMaster /S /ApplyConfig=%cd%\MyConfig.json
Note: The key pairs save to \ProgramData\Veyon\keys\
When setting up the Master, you will want to copy keys over before launching Veyon configurator, but after installing it.
Setting up new Client:
1. Use PDQ Connect to push Veyon - Client
2. Open Veyon Configurator, change to Key pair authentication. Then, Authentication keys > Import key > Import Client Key
3. Locations & Computers > Add computers by hostname + IP address. You can also import from .csv
Setting up new Server:
1. Use PDQ Connect to push Veyon - Server
2. Open Veyon Configurator, change to Key pair authentication. Then, Authentication keys > Import key > Import Server Key

6,000,039,242 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | Software / Imaging | 1 | 2 | Windows - Creating a Universal Bootable USB + Drivers (TSD Office) | 110 | The difference between the TSD Office Windows USB and DCRC Windows USB's is that the TSD one is universal, while at DCRC there is one for each model of computer (Surface 3 / 4 AMD / Intel, Dell 7080-7090, Dell 7010).
There is a bit more work and technical knowledge needed to create device-specific Windows re-imaging USB's. Creating a universal one allows you to use the same USB for all of those models. It's also easier to update periodically.
USB Creation
1. Download Windows 10 or Windows 11 Media Creation tool directly from Microsoft
1a. Windows 10 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
1b. Windows 11 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
1c. For the link above, you should see 'Create Windows [10 or 11] installation media' - below that, click 'Download Now' to download the MediaCreationTool.exe
2. Launch tool while signed in with LAPS account (tool cannot be run from standard account).
3. Accept terms of service.
4. When presented with two options 'Upgrade this PC now' and 'Create installation media...' - select the latter.
5. You should be able to use the recommended options and proceed.
6. When presented with 'USB flash drive' or 'ISO file' - select ISO file and proceed. Save it to your Desktop, or wherever convenient. It will take at least a few minutes to download.
7. While that is done downloading, you can grab Rufus (if you don't have it already).
7a. The latest version of Rufus can be downloaded from https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases - you may want to download the option that has 'p' - the portable version. Example: rufus-4.4p.exe
8. Open Rufus with the USB drive plugged in. Where it says 'DOWNLOAD' change that to 'SELECT'. Click SELECT and point it to the .iso you just downloaded.
9. You can leave all the options as default, and then click 'START' - it will then prompt you for a couple options.
9a. Check the box for 'Create a local account with username:' and use PSDTSD
9b. Check the box for the rest of the three options you are presented with and click 'OK'.
10. You will be presented with the message 'WARNING: ALL DATA ... WILL BE DESTROYED' - click 'OK'.
10a. Rufus will begin created a bootable Windows 10 Installer, that will automatically log you into the PSDTSD Local Administrator account, and skip the OOBE (Out-of-box-experience).
Loading / Updating USB with Drivers
11. If you navigate to FS2//installs/drivers/Devices/Surface you will see there are .msi installers for the various Surface models we have.
12. To update these drivers, you can simply google 'Surface 3 intel drivers' (or applicable model) which will take you to a Microsoft page like this:
13. Compare the version number on that page with what we have in the FS2 folder. If it's newer, click Download and select Windows 10 or 11, then overwrite what's in FS2.
14. Make a folder on the USB that Rufus created called 'Surface Drivers'. Load these drivers in there. There should be Surface 3 (Intel), Surface 3 (AMD), Surface 4 (Intel), and Surface 4 (AMD).
15. After re-imaging, use an external mouse + keyboard to run the correct .msi for the model. If it's a Dell / Lenovo, plug in the Serial Number on their respective website, let it auto-detect the right model, and install all drivers from the manufacturers website.
15a. We don't store Dell / Lenovo Driver's on the USB because there are too many models.
16. Proceed to TSD Office Re-imaging Instructions for more detail on re-imaging: https://psd401.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/6000038585 | 2024-02-07T19:17:13 | 1,723,658,608,000 | 1,723,658,608,000 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Aliases: Bootable USB, Reimage
Note: If using the device-specific USB's @ DCRC - ensure you're using the correct one for the device you're re-imaging. Skip Step 3 as drivers are injected during imaging.
Note: If using 'universal' Windows USB's @ TSD - follow these steps exactly.
Boot from USB
Plug the Windows USB into the computer
Surface Laptops: With the device powered off, hold the volume down button and then tap the power button to boot into the Windows USB.
Other Computers: Rapidly press what is typically the F12 or Insert key (sometimes F10 or F11) - to get to the boot manager, then select the USB to boot from it, let run until Windows logs in as .\PSDTSD - Skip to 4.1
Erase + Install Windows
Connect an external mouse and keyboard using a hub. The hub needs to have an Ethernet port, as binding to the domain, joining psd-auth, etc - has to be done while hardwired.
Hardwire the Desktop or Laptop through the hub.
Continue through Windows 10 Setup Options.
Choose Custom when prompted. It will list storage volumes. Delete all of them until there is only one. Order doesn't matter, just delete every one that it allows you to, until there is only one showing.
Proceed with the Windows 10 installation.
After Windows is done installing, you will be brought to a 'Let's connect you to a network' screen. You should be hardwired. psd-auth may be selected as well with the 'Connect automatically' box checked. Proceed.
It will log you in with the automatically created PSDTSD account.
You may see a pop-up 'Do you want to allow your PC to be discoverable...' it shouldn't matter but you can select 'Yes'.
Install Drivers
Surface
Note: The Surface screen may go dark after connecting to internet. It will fix itself after Step 6.
Determine if it's a Surface 3 or 4 and AMD or Intel.
Click on the Windows Logo in the bottom-left corner, and type msinfo - select 'System Information' > Look at fields System Model and Processor > Or look on the bottom, Model 1867 = Surface 3.
The USB contains a folder Surface Drivers inside this, are Surface Driver .msi files. They are called something like SurfaceLaptop4_AMD_Win10_etc - depending on the model and CPU.
Run the correct .msi for the model, but don't restart.
Dell Desktop - Dell makes a really good driver auto-detect utility called SupportAssist. Go to their website, have it auto-detect your computer, scan for drivers, and then install them. Should be an easy automatic process.
Others - Other manufacturers should have some similar driver auto-detect utility. If not, plug the serial number into the manufacturer website to pull up the model, and then download and install the drivers.
Rename Computer Right-click Windows Logo in the bottom-left corner, and choose System - under About - click Rename this PC - rename to our naming standards:
It should be all capital letters
It will begin with DT or LT depending on if it's a Desktop or a Laptop
Next, the three-letter-acronym of department or building (DLI, VGE, TRA, MTW, etc).
Do not name a computer 'DCRC' - that should be DLI.
Do not name a computer 'PSD' - it should be named to the site it is going to.
Next, the last 6 of barcode
Lastly, W10 (or W11 if it's running Windows 11) So something like LTVGE605472W10
After renaming the computer, no not restart when prompted and continue.
Bind to AD
Note: If this computer is a re-image, and is named the same as it was before the re-image, you will need to go into AD and delete the old computer object before you can bind this one.
You cannot have two computers in AD with the exact same name.
It's a good idea to delete the old computer object out of AD, regardless of whether the computer is going to be named the same or not.
If this is a brand new computer don't worry about this note at all.
Go to Settings > Accounts > Access work or School > Connect > Join Local AD > type peninsula.wednet.edu
When prompted for credentials, use serv_adbind Password is the same as the old Administrator account.
Do not add an account when prompted (click Skip)
First Reboot (Install Drivers + GPO PDQ Connect Install)
Unplug the Windows USB and you can now restart the computer.
It will finish the driver install Please wait while we install a system update.
Note: Driver portion of this step only applies to Universal USB's not device-specific DCRC USB's.
Move Computer Object in AD
After the computer has rebooted and is doing a Group Policy Update, its a good time to move it from the default Computers container to PSD > Computers > OU it belongs
Reese has a script that does this automatically, but its not instant. It may or may not beat you to moving the computer object.
The default 'Computers' holding directory is at the top of the OU structure. Move the computer from there to where it belongs as noted in step 7.1.
Push Appropriate Deployment with PDQ Connect
Push the appropriate PDQ Connect Package to it (i,e 'Teacher Deployment')
You shouldn't need to login to push the PDQ Deployment
Once the push is done, you can scan the computer to ensure it got all the software
LAPS + Second Reboot (ensures all GPO's are installed and LAPS password gets populated)
After the PDQ Deployment has completed, it's a good time to reboot to ensure the LAPS rotation kicks in.
It's good to verify the computer shows a LAPS password if you view it in AD after the second reboot to ensure LAPS is working.
Note: The second reboot may also install Windows updates (power button in Windows will say 'Shut down and update').
psd-auth After the second reboot, while still at the login screen, you should now be able to connect to psd-auth WiFi network. Please do so now.
Note: This only applies to Laptops and Desktops that have a WiFi card. Which should be 99.9% of our computers going out.
Note: You should still be hardwired until after successfully connecting to psd-auth, only then can you disconnect. Or leave hardwired until after PDQ deployment.

Aliases: Operating System, Bootable, Image USB
These instructions can be used for turning a USB into a bootable macOS Installer for the first time, or updating a USB that may have an outdated version of macOS that needs to be updated. It's good practice to keep our USB's updated so that we're not imaging macOS computers with outdated versions of macOS.
1. Download Mist from Self Service if it's not already installed on your computer. It's scoped to TSD only. It's under the System Utilities Category:
You can also install it by pasting this link into your browser: jamfselfservice://content?entity=policy&id=1402&action=view
2. Launch Mist, then go to the 'Installers' tab. Click the download icon next to the most recent macOS version you're wanting to create a bootable USB installer with (Sonoma or Ventura in this example are highlighted):
3. When prompted to choose a save Destination, select your Desktop. For 'Select Export Type' - leave the Default option of 'Application' checked. It will take a couple minutes to save to your Desktop and verify. But it should look like this when completed successfully:
Downloaded Installer (.app) on your Desktop:
Mist showing successful:
Note: Mist does have the option of creating a USB installer, but in my experience it freezes during creation and is unreliable. The best, most reliable option is doing it through terminal, using the built-in createinstallmedia command.
4. Open terminal. Su in as Administrator using macOSLAPS.
The command you'll want to run is:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ [Version Name].app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/[USB Drive Name] --nointeraction
You will want a USB drive plugged in (16GB is the best size, can't be smaller). macOS will need to see the USB first. It will erase it as part of the process.
An easy way to build the right command is first type sudo, then a space, then drag the macOS installer into terminal from your Desktop to populate the correct path. Then copy the rest of the command above '/Contents/Resources/etc' all the way to the '--volume' part.
So at this point, you should have this:
To properly get the USB portion, you can do Finder > Go > Computer > Drag the USB it's showing that you plugged in, over to the terminal window you have open. Add '--nointeraction' at the end.
You should now have this:
Hit Enter. It will begin erasing the USB. You may be prompted to Allow Terminal.app to access files on a removable volume, click 'Allow':

Walks students through how to access courses in Schoology from the portal as well as how they can reorder courses in their dropdown.
The video titled "How Students Access Schoology from portal.psd401.net" by Donna Squires is a guide on how students can access and navigate Schoology through their schools portal. Here's a summary of the steps:
Accessing the Portal: Go to portal.psd401.net. This is the starting point for accessing Schoology.
Navigating to Schoology: Once in the portal, students should click on 'Schoology' under the student core tools.
Understanding the Landing Page: The main landing page in Schoology shows recent activity, which includes the update feed from all courses the student is enrolled in.
Viewing Courses: To see a list of courses, click on 'Courses' in the blue bar at the top. A dropdown menu will display up to 12 courses, depending on the screen size.
Finding All Courses: If a course is not visible in the dropdown menu, students can click on 'My Courses' to see a complete alphabetical list of all their courses.
Accessing a Specific Course: To enter a course, click on the binder icon under the course title.
Reordering Courses: For students who prefer to see their courses in a specific order (like by period), they can reorder them by selecting 'Manage Courses' and then 'Reorder Courses.' They can drag courses into their preferred order.
Adjusting the Course Dropdown Menu: If a desired course is not showing in the dropdown menu, students can drag it from below the line in the reorder area to above the line. This will make it appear in the dropdown menu.
Using the Course Dashboard: By clicking on the Peninsula School District icon and selecting 'Course Dashboard,' students can view all courses in a tile format. This view shows all courses, not just the top 12, and allows for drag-and-drop reorganization.
This tutorial is helpful for students needing guidance on accessing and organizing their Schoology courses through their school's specific portal.

The video titled "How a Student Submits a Google Drive Assignment in Schoology" by Donna Squires is a tutorial for students on submitting assignments in Schoology that are linked to Google Drive. Here's a step-by-step summary:
Opening the Assignment: The video begins with Donna opening an assignment in Schoology. The assignment includes a document provided by the teacher, in this case, a Google Slides deck for the student to introduce themselves.
Accessing the Document: Students can click on 'My Document' to view the assigned slide deck. If the working space in Schoology is too small, they can click a star icon to open the document in Google Drive, which provides a larger workspace.
Completing the Assignment: Students should complete the assignment in Google Drive. Donna emphasizes that this is where they should make all necessary edits or additions to the slide deck or document.
Submitting the Assignment: After completing the work, students should return to the Schoology tab to submit the assignment. The submission is done by clicking 'Submit Assignment.' Donna notes that there might be times when a teacher prefers not to submit the assignment immediately to allow for feedback.
Receiving and Acting on Feedback: If the teacher provides feedback, it will appear alongside the document in Schoology. Students can then make any necessary changes based on this feedback.
Final Submission: Once the assignment is ready for final submission, students click 'Submit Assignment.' A confirmation message will appear, and they can click 'Done.'
Post-Submission: After submitting, students can no longer edit the file, but they can make comments. If needed, they can use the 'Unsubmit' button to unlock the assignment for further edits before the grading date.
Troubleshooting: If students have trouble viewing documents (e.g., a grey screen appears), they should click on a link to ensure they are logged in with their student ID number.
Final Note: Donna concludes by advising students to reach out to their instructors for any additional clarification or help needed.
This video provides clear instructions for students on how to manage and submit Google Drive assignments within the Schoology platform, emphasizing the process of editing, receiving feedback, and finalizing submissions.
Using the Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive Resource Apps to Submit Assignments
Students can also submit materials to an assignment using the integrated Google Drive or OneDrive Resource apps, which they can access from the Resources tab. To submit, students select the file in their Google Drive or OneDrive, click Import, and then select Import File:
It is additionally possible to submit from Google Drive and OneDrive from the Create tab, using the Insert Content menu in the Rich Text Editor:
Schoology strongly recommends that students use the Resources tab workflow to submit Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive content. However, if they do submit via the Create tab, they can only successfully submit content by choosing Import Link in the Insert Content menu:
Using the Google Drive or OneDrive Assignments App to Submit Assignments

Aliases:
View Course As
View Course As is a function that enables Course Admins to view courses as a specific member or student would.
How do I use View Course As?
To use View Course As, click Course Options under the course photo.
Then, you can select a member from the list and navigate the course from their perspective.
Once you have finished viewing your course as that member, you can either enter in another member's name in the banner at the top of the page or click Back to Course to return to your regular view.
Note: In order to use View Course As, there must be at least one member enrolled in the course. If you want to View Course As before students have been added as members, you can add a peer or teaching partner to the course and leave as a member (no admin roles).
Can I submit work on students' behalf using the View Course As feature?
Assignments
The Submit button for assignments is not available for instructors using View Course As. View Course As does not enable instructors to submit assignments on behalf of students.
Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive Assignments
View Course As does not work with Google Drive Assignments or OneDrive Assignments. When a student accesses a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment and clicks My Document, a unique copy of the original Google/OneDrive document is created for the student to edit.
Therefore, if a Course Admin uses the View Course As feature to preview the course and open a Google Drive or OneDrive Assignment, the assignment will display as the Course Admin normally sees the assignment from their own view (including the In Progress and Submissions tabs). Attempts to click the document link from within the assignment will result in a "Private Access Only" message and exit View Course As.
Note: See these articles for more information about the student view in these apps: Google Drive Assignments and Microsoft OneDrive Assignments.
Test/Quizzes and Assessments
You are not able to Resume or Start New Attempt for test/quizzes and assessments while using View Course As. As such, neither are you able to submit test/quizzes and assessments for students from this view.
Notes:
Instructors can preview Course Assessments as well as Test/Quizzes prior to administering them.
Observational grading for Assessments allows instructors to enter responses on behalf of students.

Follow
Reconnecting the Google Drive Assignments App
The Google Drive Assignments App leverages the permission-sharing capabilities of Google Drive. A student copy of the assigned document is created when a student opens an assignment using the Google Drive Assignments App. This copy is only shared with the instructor who created the assignment and the student who opens it.
Sometimes, errors can occur for students using this workflow because:
A student attempts to view a file and discovers they no longer have access. A Google account and/or privileges had previously given them access to the file, but now they are using a different Google account and cannot access it.
A student attempts to view a file and discovers they no longer have access. They are logged into Schoology but are not actually logged into a Google account.
These errors can be resolved by logging out of the Google Drive Assignments App and logging back in. Schoology has added a link to make this process easier. This allows students to reconnect to the app with the correct Google Drive account and load the document successfully.
This link appears for students viewing their own documents in the My Document tab:
Step 1 Click the link in the top right corner above the document.
Step 2 Click Connect to login to your Google Drive account.
This will launch a new window prompting you to log in with your Google Drive account.
Once youve logged in, Schoology will automatically reload the document. If this does not resolve the issue, please reach out to your instructor for further assistance.

The video titled "Schoology Navigation Basics" by Angela May is a comprehensive guide for students on how to navigate and use Schoology effectively. Here's a detailed summary of the video:
Logging into the Portal: Angela starts by advising students to log into the portal and double-check that they're logged into their own account, especially if they share devices.
Accessing Schoology: Students should click on 'Core Tools' to find Schoology. She emphasizes that the tools might differ slightly for high school, middle school, and elementary students.
Checking Schoology Landing Page: Once in Schoology, it's a good practice to check the name in the upper right corner to ensure the correct account is in use. The Peninsula School District logo in the upper left corner always brings you back to the landing page.
Organizing Courses: Angela demonstrates how to reorder courses for easier access. Only the first 12 courses appear initially, but they can be rearranged by going to 'Courses' > 'My Courses' and using the 'Reorder Courses' button.
Using the Course Dashboard: She also explains the course dashboard feature for organizing courses and how changes there reflect on the regular courses button.
Managing Groups and Extracurricular Activities: Similar to courses, groups related to extracurricular activities can also be reorganized.
Changing Password for Mobile App: For students who use Schoology on mobile devices, Angela shows how to update the Schoology password to match the Peninsula School District password through 'Settings'.
Setting Up Notifications: She advises turning on notifications for each course to stay updated. This can be done from the notification button within each course.
Using the Notification Bell and Calendar: The notification bell in the banner shows recent updates and notifications. The Schoology calendar is beneficial for tracking assignments and due dates across courses. Angela recommends using color coding for different classes in the calendar.
Communicating with Teachers: The Schoology messages tool is highlighted as a way to communicate directly with teachers.
Seeking Help: Angela concludes by inviting students to reach out with questions or concerns to service central at psd401.net.
This tutorial is aimed at helping students effectively navigate and utilize the various features of Schoology for a more organized and efficient learning experience. | 2022-01-07T22:39:50 | 1,710,753,097,000 | 1,710,463,539,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 |

BEST PRACTICES FOR SUBMITTING TEST/QUIZZES (STUDENTS)
Occasionally, we hear reports of test answers changing between the time the student takes and submits a Test/Quiz. Our team continuously conducts extensive research and validation. Rest assured we have never found anything indicating a Schoology defect that would cause answers to change.
There are some common mistakes and settings that may lead students to believe that their answers were changing or appearing to change. Below are some steps you can take to prevent any potential issues.
Are you using a mobile device to submit your test?
If so, note that the touch screen capabilities can be very sensitive. While you are scrolling down the page, for example, it is important to remember that tapping the screen close to an answer on a multiple choice or matching question may select that answer. Please scroll carefully when answering questions and review your selected answers when using a mobile device.
Do you have the Review Answers screen?
If your teacher has allowed Question Review on your test, you can view a list of questions and answers you've selected before submitting your test.
The answers you've selected display with a white checkmark. This does not mean the answer is correct. The checkmark is there to confirm your selection:
If your teacher has configured the test settings to allow you to view submissions with the correct answers, you'll be able to see the actual correct answers after submitting the test:
If you are still confused by the answers you've selected and the answers you see in Schoology, contact your teacher for further assistance. They can look into the settings on the test and potentially reach out to Schoology Support for help.

1/4' Cables and 1/4' to XLR adapters
Data Cable
USB Hub
Laptop (Can be Mac or Windows)
Do not turn on the system yet, you'll cause extra loud pops and clicks plugging things in while it's on. If it's on before setting up, turn it off. There is a switch on the top right side in the front of the case.
2. Open the back of the rack, you're looking for the two open inputs on the bottom two boxes. Plug in the side of the 1/4" cables with the XLR adapter. It should look like what is pictured below. Doesn't matter which color cable goes where.
3. Now take the interface and plug it into your machine, if you have a mac then you'll need a USB hub. Just plug the square end of the cable into the back of the interface where it says USB, then the USB side into your computer (or into hub then computer).
4. Now take the other end of the 1/4' cables and plug them into the back of the interface, after you're done the back should look like this:
5. Now you'll want to adjust your volume, you can adjust the volume in 3 places. One is in whatever app you're using to play music, I'm using spotify. I would set the volume to about 50% there. The other place you can adjust it is your computer, I would set this to 100%. Then the last place is the knob on the front of the interface I circled below, Right is more volume Left is less. I would start with this pretty far to the left unlike the picture.
6. Now power on the system. There is a switch on the front side of the rack on the top right, just turn that on.
7. Finally you'll want to test your sound volume, set the above knob all the way to the left. Now turn on your music and slowly raise the volume until you get it to a comfortable volume.
8. You should be good to go! Be sure to power off the system before unhooking or you'll get more popping.

Install Google Drive for Desktop: Ensure Google Drive for Desktop is installed on your Windows device. Previously known as Google Drive File Stream, this application creates a bridge between your Google Drive and your computer.
Open File Explorer: Start by opening a File Explorer window on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the folder icon on your taskbar or searching for File Explorer in the Windows search bar.
Navigate to Google Drive: In File Explorer, your Google Drive should appear as a drive under "This PC." It might be labeled with a letter, such as the G: drive, but the letter can vary depending on your system. Click to enter your Google Drive.
Avoid Quick Access: By default, Windows might open File Explorer to "Quick Access." It's recommended to navigate away from Quick Access by selecting "This PC" or directly accessing your Google Drive to ensure a broad search scope.
Search for Your File: Once you're in your Google Drive folder, use the search bar at the top right corner of the window to search for your file. For example, if you're looking for a newsletter, you can type "newsletter" into the search bar and press Enter.
Review the Results: File Explorer will display all files within your Google Drive that match your search query. You can then locate and open the file you were looking for.
Additional Tips: Remember to search within specific drives or locations if needed, and avoid leaving the search setting on "Quick Access," as it may limit your search results.

These instructions pertain to any file type, but specifically focused on PDF documents.
If the icon looks as follows, Edge is the default.
Right click on the file
Choose Open With > Choose another app (If you choose your PDF app here, it will not be saved as default)
In the popup, select the app for the new default. The recommended choice here is Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe Reader.
Ensure the box is checked to "Always use this app to open .pdf files"
Click OK
Now the file should look like the new default program

A) Have noticed Firefox is missing and are saying they need it to access a certain site
B) Have noticed Internet Explorer is missing and are saying they need it to access a certain site
Please try adding whatever website they are trying to access the .xml file below, following that syntax. You do not need to put the http / https.
1. Add site to xml file as in screenshot below. Location https://dli-engineering.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sites.xml
2. Go into Edge and clear all cache + cookies
3. Go to edge://compat and click Force update and verify the site you added is there:
Now, when going to the site, you should see the little IE symbol. And it should hopefully work. If not, escalate to Client Systems Analyst or System Administrator.

Aliases: Active Directory, AD, Trust Relationship
If a computer loses the trust relationship with AD you will see a message like the one above. This can happen naturally if the computer hasn't been signed into for long enough. The Client Systems Analyst also periodically deletes computer objects out of AD if the AD Last Login is >120 days. This is to ensure inventory accuracy, and to prevent stale/unused devices from skewing patch compliance metrics, etc.
Computer still in AD: If the trust relationship failed due to the computer not having been logged into in a long time, the computer object should still be in AD and you should be able to get a LAPS password so you can login as the PSDTSD account to unbind-rebind (ensuring you move the computer back to the OU it belongs). Use the serv_adbind account when rebinding.
Computer not in AD: If the computer is not in AD anymore, it was likely purged due to inactivity and is in the AD Recycle Bin. The Client Systems Analyst has a script that will restore the computer back into the correct OU in AD. However, the permissions to run it are above the Help Desk/Field Tech levels. if you run into this issue please chat Reese, Brad, or Bill and they can run the script located at \\fs2\scripts\Active-Directory\Restore_AD_Computer.ps1 to restore the computers AD object. If it has been off the domain for a while it may be a good idea to do a gpupdate as well.
For restoring multiple computers, a .csv containing hostnames only (no need for a hostname header column) is preferred.
If it's just a couple, you can chat the hostnames needed.
If you want to look in the AD recycle bin yourself first, you should have read-only permissions to do so.
1. You have to use the Active Directory Administrative Center application (different than Active Directory Users & Computers).
2. Launch that, then click on 'Peninsula (local)'
3. You should see a folder called 'Deleted Objects' - double-click it:
4. You can then enter the hostname in the Filter field to see if it exists in the AD Recycle Bin. If it doesn't, it was deleted over 4 months ago.

If you have created videos and would like to embed the videos in a course in Schoology or website, you will need to make sure you have checked Allow Embedding in More Options on the video Details page.
This video will walk through the steps:
&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
Summary of Video Transcription:
In the video "Allow Embedding of YouTube Videos," Donna Squires explains how to adjust settings to enable embedding YouTube videos on other platforms. The key points of her 130-second tutorial are:
Accessing Video Settings: To ensure a video can be embedded elsewhere, such as in a Schoology course or on a website, one must go beyond basic settings.
Enabling Embedding: In the 'More Options' section of the video settings, there's an option under 'Additional Options' to 'Allow Embedding'. This box must be checked to enable embedding.
Consequences of Not Enabling Embedding: If this option is not checked, the video will appear embeddable, but an error message saying "video unavailable" will occur when trying to watch it embedded in another site.
Donna demonstrates these steps to ensure that viewers can successfully set their videos to be embedded where they want them. | 2020-05-11T20:15:30 | 1,723,062,874,000 | 1,723,062,874,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Directions for doing this in Schoology:
Steps to Embed a Video with Start and End Times:
Find the Video: Go to the YouTube video you want to embed.
Share and Embed: Click on the "Share" button below the video, then click "Embed" to get the iframe code for embedding the video.
Edit the Embed Code: Before copying the embed code, you'll need to modify it to specify the start and end times.
To set the start time, add ?start=NUMBER at the end of the video URL within the iframe code, where NUMBER is the start time in seconds.
To set the end time, add &end=NUMBER immediately after the start parameter, where NUMBER is the end time in seconds.
Insert the Code: Copy the modified embed code and paste it into the HTML of your webpage or platform where you want the video to appear.
Example:
If you want the video to start at 2 minutes and 53 seconds (173 seconds) and end at 4 minutes and 2 seconds (242 seconds), your embed code will look something like this:
html
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3zaB6TxTh-0?start=173&end=242"></iframe>
Tips:
Calculating Time in Seconds: Remember to convert your desired start and end times into seconds when adding them to the embed code.
Embedding into Platforms: The process of embedding the video may vary slightly depending on the platform you're using. Generally, you'll need to find the option to edit the HTML or insert media.
This technique is a great way to share specific parts of a video without having to edit the video itself.
&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
General directions for doing it in a website:
Sharing YouTube Videos with Specific Start and Stop Times
Find the Video: Go to YouTube and find the video you want to share.
Calculate Time in Seconds: Determine the part you want to highlight. Convert these values into seconds. For example, for a segment from 01:30 to 02:10, that would be 90-130 seconds.
Edit the URL:
Remove ?watch.
Replace = with /.
Add ?start=x&end=y at the end of the URL, where x is the start time in seconds and y is the end time in seconds.
Embedding YouTube Videos on WordPress with Specific Start and Stop Times
Find the Video and Click Share: Click on the video you want to embed, then click on the "Share" button, followed by "Embed".
Customize the Embed Code: Click "Show more" and then ensure only "Show player controls" is checked.
Copy the Embed Code: Copy the highlighted embed code provided.
Go to Your WordPress Site: Create a new post or page, and switch to the Text tab.
Paste the Embed Code: Edit the code by adding start=x&end=y& where x is your starting point in seconds and y is your end point in seconds, right after the ?.
Remember, the methods for sharing links directly and embedding videos on WordPress slightly differ, especially in how you format the URLs and embed codes. This ensures your audience sees only the relevant parts of a video you wish to highlight.

1. Log into YouTube:
Ensure you are logged into your educational tools account by clicking on your profile picture at the top right corner.
2. Access YouTube Studio:
Click on "YouTube Studio" from the options available. If your account still uses the "Creator Studio," the process should be similar, although YouTube is transitioning everyone to YouTube Studio.
3. Navigate to Your Videos:
Once in YouTube Studio, click on the "Videos" button on the left navigation bar to view all your videos.
4. Edit Video Settings:
To edit a video, click on the pencil icon (Details) next to the video you wish to edit.
5. Change Thumbnail (Optional):
If you don't like the automatically selected thumbnail, you can upload a custom JPEG or graphic image to represent your video better.
6. Specify Audience:
Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), you must indicate whether your video is made for kids or not. Make your selection accordingly.
7. Select Visibility:
Choose "Unlisted" for educational videos. "Public" makes it searchable to everyone, and "Private" restricts viewing to subscribers only. Unlisted is the recommended setting for educational content within the Peninsula School District.
8. Disable Comments and Ratings:
It's advised to disable comments to prevent unmonitored discussions on your video. Additionally, disable the option for viewers to see ratings to avoid displaying public opinions on educational content.
9. Save Changes:
Remember to click the "Save" button if you've made any changes to the settings.

Summary of Video Transcription:
Angela May's video "How to Upload Videos to YouTube Updated Feb 2020" is a comprehensive guide on uploading videos to YouTube, particularly for educational purposes. Key points from the video include:
Account Verification: Ensuring you are in the correct YouTube account, as YouTube does not clearly indicate this unlike other Google products.
Uploading Process: Selecting and uploading video files, preferably in MP4 format.
Description and Tags: While important, these are less crucial for unlisted videos, which won't appear in search results.
Thumbnail Selection: Choosing either an auto-generated thumbnail or uploading a custom one.
COPPA Compliance: Marking whether the content is suitable for children under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
Advanced Settings: Disabling comments and likes/dislikes for educational videos, and adding tags if needed.
Visibility Settings: Setting the video to 'Unlisted' so it exists on your channel but is only accessible through a direct URL or embedded link.
Embedding in Schoology: Demonstrating how to embed the video into Schoology, highlighting that only the video link is needed for embedding.
Channel Dashboard: Navigating to the YouTube Studio to view all videos, where each video's status (e.g., unlisted, made for kids) and other metrics are visible.
Angela's video is aimed at helping educators and others upload and manage their YouTube content effectively, with a focus on privacy and educational settings.
Uploading a Video to YouTube
Verify Account: Ensure you're logged into the correct YouTube account by checking your account avatar in the upper right corner. For school district accounts, although there might not be a specific logo, make sure it's your educational tools account and not your personal one.
Start Upload: Click the video camera icon with a "+" on the top right, then select "Upload Video."
Select File: Choose the video file you wish to upload from your computer. MP4 files are recommended for their compatibility.
Video Details:
Title and Description: Fill in a concise and descriptive title. The description is less critical if setting the video as unlisted, as it won't be searchable, but providing context can be helpful.
Privacy Settings: Set your video to "Unlisted" to ensure it's accessible only through a direct link or embedded code, maintaining privacy and control.
Thumbnail: YouTube automatically generates a thumbnail, but you have the option to upload a custom one that better represents your video.
Advanced Settings:
Audience: Indicate whether the video is made for kids, following COPPA guidelines. Select "Yes" for educational content aimed at children.
Comments and Ratings: Disable comments to maintain control over feedback and prevent unwanted interactions. Also, consider disabling ratings (likes/dislikes) for educational videos.
End Screens and Cards: These are optional features that allow you to promote additional content at the end of your video or throughout its playback. They can be useful for educational series or linking to related resources.
Publishing: After setting the visibility to "Unlisted," click "Done" to finish the upload process. Once published, you'll receive a URL for the video.
Sharing Your Video
Embedding in Educational Platforms: Copy the provided URL to embed the video directly into educational platforms like Schoology. This method keeps students within the digital learning environment, eliminating the need to navigate away from the platform.
Using Schoology: To embed the video in Schoology, create a new page, name it appropriately, and use the text editor's "Image/Media" insertion tool to paste the video's URL. Adjust the video size as needed for better visibility.
Managing Your Video
Access your video management dashboard by clicking on your profile and selecting "YouTube Studio." Here, you can view all your uploaded videos, see their status (e.g., unlisted), and edit details if necessary. | 2020-02-24T05:36:16 | 1,723,062,874,000 | 1,723,062,874,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Below are some explanations for common questions users may have about using YouTube.
Disable Autoplay
Go to the watch screen of any video.
At the bottom of the video player, click the Autoplay switch to set it to On or Off .
YouTube Privacy Settings
When uploading a video to YouTube, you can change the privacy settings for that video to Public, Private, or Unlisted.
Public is the default setting and that means anybody can see your video.
Private means only those you invite to view the video can view it (they must have their own Youtube accounts and the maximum number is 50 usernames). Your video will not come up under any search results or your channel list. If you try to share it with someone who wasnt invited, they will not be able to connect to it.
Unlisted means your video will not come up in search results or on your channel either. Only those who know the link can view it, and you can share the link with anyone, even those who do not have a YouTube account/username. This means that this video could still be seen by anyone, but only if they guess the link!
If your video is already uploaded, go to your video manager under the drop down menu and you can change the privacy settings for each video as well as DELETE your videos permanently.
Restricted Mode
YouTube Restricted Mode filters out inappropriate or offensive content. It can effectively restrict mature or objectionable videos kids may come into contact when using the platform.
YouTube attempts to limit the amount of harmful content that is posted to their platform with a set of Common Sense Rules in their Community Guidelines. YouTube has strict content policies which cover content relating to nudity, hate speech, graphic violence, or dangerous acts.
Restricted Mode Levels:
Strict (Elementary and Middle Schools) This setting is the most restrictive. Strict Mode does not block all videos, but works as a filter to screen out many videos based on an automated system, while leaving some videos still available for viewing.
Moderate (High Schools) This is similar to Strict Mode but makes a much larger collection of videos available.
Staff are set to 'Can approve videos' In the event a channel or video that provides legitimate educational material is blocked by Restricted Mode, Staff can mark it approved.
An unapproved video that may be blocked by Restricted Mode:
An unapproved channel that may be blocked by Restricted Mode:
Notice both of the above have an 'Approve' button. If unsure if a channel or video is blocked, you can send a direct link to a student to test. We are not able to maintain a list of approved / blocked YouTube channels.

Staff may add other licensed account holders as Alternative Hosts for a new or already scheduled meeting.
Note: PSD has two groupings for Zoom accounts.
Licensed accounts which all teachers, building substitutes and admin are a part of.
Basic accounts which paras and other substitutes were added to.
Know that to add someone as an Alternative Host requires they be placed in the "Licensed" grouping of Zoom accounts. Call the help desk (253.530.3711) or put in a ticket to inquire about a staff persons' grouping and to have them be added to the Licensed group if needed.
Requirements and Limitations for adding Alternative Hosts:
Both users need to be Licensed and on the same domain account (within the PSD Zoom domain)
Alternative hosts must be signed in to Zoom with the correct account in order to be granted the host or co-host permissions
The alternative host can start the meeting using the join link in the email or calendar invite sent to them by the host from Zoom. The meeting will NOT display in the upcoming meetings list in the desktop client, mobile app, or web page for alternative hosts.
Alternative hosts can't schedule on behalf of the host. If you need to schedule a meeting on behalf of another user, use scheduling privilege. You can also give another Licensed user scheduling privilege, which allows them to schedule meetings for you and makes them an alternative host for those meetings.
If the original host joins after the alternative host, the original host will always regain control of the meeting and become host. In addition, the alternative host will change roles. If the co-host feature is enabled for the meeting, the alternative host will become a co-host. If the co-host feature is disabled, the alternative host becomes a normal participant.
If a host is attending a meeting but needs assistance with managing the meeting, they can assign a co-host during the meeting instead of an alternative host. Learn more about roles in a meeting.
Alternative Hosts in Zoom Article
Go to the meeting you want to add the Alternative host to and select Edit.
Scroll down to the bottom until you see Alternative Hosts. Add the @psd401.net address of the people you would like to make Alternative Hosts and click Save.
An email will be generated by Zoom and sent to the person added as an alternative host. The alternative host will need to start the meeting using the link in the email. The Alternative host will NOT see this meeting in their list on meetings in Zoom.

6,000,024,760 | 6,000,542,933 | Technology | Zoom | 1 | 2 | Best Practices for Teacher Zoom Authentication Settings | 110 |
This short article provides you two best practice tips we are recommending for all teachers to set on their Zoom account and Zoom meetings to protect you from outside users joining your meetings.
If you go to the Zoom webpage (psd401.zoom.us) or click on the Zoom button in the PSD portal, you will be able to get into your personal settings. In your personal settings, please make sure that your authentication settings are set up to match the image below:
These are global settings, but you will also want to make sure you always check your per-meeting settings as well. When you create a new meeting (or modify an existing meeting) please ensure that the following option is checked as well for all meetings involving students and PSD staff.
If you use a Personal Meeting Room for any meetings, also check that it is set there, by going to Meetings and then "Personal Room" and "Edit".
And check the "only authenticated users can join", as you would with the other meetings.
This setting may be a problem for parent-teacher conferences though, or meetings where you have outside of PSD guests, so it is ok to turn this off for a very specific meeting where you are expecting outside guests, just keep a close eye on the waiting room and don't let in anyone you don't know. | 2020-09-16T21:05:37 | 1,723,061,972,000 | 1,723,061,972,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
