Quick Morning Start-Up Tip

Many of the teachers in my district have not been shutting down their computers at night because they don’t want to have to reopen all of the tabs they use every day. Tabs like their morning message slide, email, and our student information system used for attendance. Not shutting down a computer every night is a breach of security. With your computer open and logged in, any person who comes into your room has access to information that should be secured. Not shutting down a computer every night also keeps it from catching the updates that will help it run smoothly. To help teachers feel comfortable shutting down each night, I created this video for them showing that they can create a bookmark folder of all of the materials they need to open each day. Once they create this folder, they can simply right click on it to open all of their teaching materials with one click of a button. I hope this helps you as well!
