STU-CON 2017
Just a reminder that the first annual STU-CON is THIS
Thursday at City Hall! All WUSD staff are invited to attend and learn
from our student experts about the technology they are using in WUSD
classrooms. Video creation, robotics, all things Google, student created music,
and much more awaits you! The doors open at 5 pm and there will be
several door prizes available for attendees – including at Chromebook!
CapCUE Mini
Grants
Each Spring CapCUE, the local CUE affiliate, supports
classroom technology projects as part of a $500 mini grant program. Check
out http://capcue.weebly.com/mini-grants.html
for more information. If you need assistance in writing a mini grant, reach out
to Edmund Lynch, Technology TOSA, and he’d be happy to assist (elynch@wusd.k12.ca.us).
Network
security begins with our WUSD Employees
As hackers get increasingly crafty at attempts on our
network, it is time to revisit network security and the measures each employee
can put into place to prevent ransomware and breaches. Password security
and email safety education are two areas that the Technology Department is
seeing as increasingly important in stopping this type of activity. Each
employee has a responsibility to the organization to have a strong password
that is kept safe and not shared (Section 2.6 of the WUSD Staff and Faculty Acceptable
Use Policy) and to have an understanding of general practice around email and
messaging safety (Section 3 of the WUSD Staff and Faculty Acceptable Use
Policy). The WUSD Staff and Faculty Acceptable Use Policy is attached for
your reference only – you already have a completed form on file as an employee
of WUSD.
To assist in developing a strong password and to learn more
about email and messaging safety, all WUSD Staff and Faculty have been assigned
the following two “courses” from Keenan Safe Schools to complete and should
have both courses completed no later than Friday, April 7:
·
Password Security (Full Course) – 5
minutes
·
Email and Messaging Safety (Full Course)
– 12 minutes
Please go to the website www.wusd.keenan.safeschools.com/login
and log in under your ID-the first initial of your first name and your last
name (for example: jdoe). If this does not work, please try your full
first name and full last name together. If you are still having trouble,
please reach out to Jennifer Geminder at jgeminder@wusd.k12.ca.us for
assistance.
