#EMSISDITs Tech Talk | Feb 2

Greetings! This week’s #EMSISDITS Tech Talk Newsletter is hot off the presses! (Digital presses, of course!)

 In this edition ...

• Bryson teacher, Diana Foster, shares one of the Paper Slide Videos her students created about Civil War
• Special Shout-Outs to some TECHtastic things happening around EMS ISD (We highlight Willow Creek ES, Eagle Mountain ES, and Greenfield ES)
• This week's Tips & Tricks include Airserver, Skyward Tutorials, and Quizizz

We want to highlight the great things happening on YOUR campus and in YOUR classroom. If you have requests for upcoming newsletter articles or would like to nominate someone to be included in the Shout-Outs section, please contact the Instructional Technologist for your campus!

Important Employee Links

Our district website, emsisd.com, is hosted by ESC 11. This Saturday, October 3, ESC 11 technicians will be doing some routine server maintenance, which will results in a website outage for all hosted district sites, including ours. The EMS ISD website may be unavailable for as long as two hours.

This outage WILL NOT AFFECT Skyward, Eduphoria, Office 365, Canvas, or other web-based district systems, but if you use the links on the district page to access these resources, you will need to access them directly during the outage.  

Important Employee Links 

The following links can be saved as shortcuts on your computer desktop or to a list of bookmarks/favorites. These links will allow you access these district systems directly, rather than using the links on the district site.
