YouTube Playlists



I have been playing with YouTube Playlists recently and I have found it to be a useful tool in creating and saving a series of videos.  For example, I found the Schoology Channel, subscribed to it and saved their "Schoology Knowledge Base" Playlist.  In doing so, I now receive updated videos from Schoology and I can share the Playlist with others through Social Media, email or embedding the link on our web site.

Creating a Playlist is a great tool allowing you to easily direct your students to a series of videos supporting a topic.  If you are interested in creating and saving Playlists to your YouTube account, check out these directions.  Click our Playlist to view what we have saved.

Westerville City School WiFi Update

We have received a number of questions recently about connecting to WCS network.  Let's look at two scenarios.

First, which network should my teacher Chromebook be on?  All teacher Chromebooks should be on the WCSINet network.  If you find your Chromebook is not, please contact your EdTech Coach to log you into the network.

Second, how do I connect my phone to Westerville City School's Internet?  All staff and student personal devices should be connected to the WCS network.  Directions to do so are listed on the Document, "Staff Connection to WCS Wireless." Using the WCS network will give you greater access to the Internet than using the WCS-Guest network.





G Suite Training Extension Reminder

This is an update to an earlier post about G Suite Training.  We wanted to send a reminder that all staff and students have access to the G Suite Training Extension.  The Extension loads into your Google Apps for Education account and gives the user easy access to help tutorials.  The best part about the Extension is it automatically switches programs as you move within your Google account.

If you need to know how to set this up in your account, please watch the following video.  If you have additional questions or issues with the Extension, please contact your EdTech Coach for support.
