Screencast: How to begin editing your state webspace

Here is a brief (very brief), screencast, on how you can log in to your state provided webspace.



Note:  I don't go into much detail here on web editing here.  Just how to log in, and that type of thing.

When it comes to web editing, I would recommend "playing".  It's ok to experiment and work on new things and ideas.

Another helpful hint, is to look at other staff members pages, and if you see something you like....ask them how they did that?

And of course you can always ask me specific questions on "how to" do this, or that.

There is so many things that could be covered in a vast subject like this a 5 minute screenr video, won't even come close to scratching the surface.
(Note:  My son Cameron, just took a Semester Long online course on Web Editing...So he worked on building a web page for an entire semester.)
Here is what his page looks like:  http://ch3661.k12.sd.us/default.htm

I hope this short video at least helps a few of you "get started" and be able to start doing some basic work.

Changing your password

A number of students and teachers have had to have their state e-mail password changed this year.

This is a state requirement, that your password is changed once a year.

If you need help resetting your password, I can do that for you.
(and have done it for several individuals this year)

-However, I can not "change" your password to what you want, I can only "reset" it to a random password of 8 numbers/letters/symbols

Each user, IS able to change their own password.

Just follow the following steps:

1.  All you have to do is go to the members website:  https://members.k12.sd.us/

2.  Once there, you click on "Member Sign-In" in the top right corner.

2.  Click on the "Sign-In" button

3.  Enter your username and password in the pop-up box.

4.  Click on the BLUE link that says:  Change your password

5.  Enter your "Old" password, and then you must type in a New Password twice.

- Your password needs to be 8 digits long.

- It must have 1 Capital letter (minimum)

- It must have 1 number and/or symbol

6.  Once you click "Submit", your password will be changed.

I hope this helps!
