Guest: This is designed for visitors to our district. Depending on where you access this network from, you may need to have a sponsor that can approve your accessing the network. This is also the most limited network. There are a large number of blocked websites.
Inet: The Inet is the default setting for many of the Chromebooks and is most like what students have access to. It has a medium level of access to sites. If you are having trouble accessing certain websites or portions of websites (videos, images, etc.), this is a good place to look first in your troubleshooting. Many sites use larger hosts like Amazon or Google for their content and they will occasionally be blocked by this network. The login information for this network is programmed into the Chromebooks.
WCS: This network is tied to your login information, so it gives teachers more access to sites they may need. It is the least locked down of the websites and offers access to a number of sites that may not work on other networks. If you can access a site like Netflix to show a documentary or instructional video from your desktop, but not on a Chromebook, you are most likely not signed into WCS on the laptop. In order to sign in there are a few steps that you need to take.
1. Go to the toolbar at the bottom of your screen and click on the clock at the bottom right
2. Click on the WiFi symbol and choose WCS
3. Fill in the login info...
-You will need to do several things in order to do this:
a. Change the EAP method from LEAP to PEAP.
b. Type in your username (whatever your Google login is minus the @westerville.k12.oh.us
c. Type in your password- the same that you use for Google login.
You should be connected! Happy Interneting! As always, if you have questions or want to know more about the technology available to you, contact your friendly neighborhood ed-tech coach!
