Is this product a major plus compared to 2002 WIN XP? We

better recommendation?

wireless network

I need to add my son's laptop to our wireless network.
Unfortunately, someone threw away the information I had
with the security key so now I can't add the laptop
without it. How can I get another security key (or
passcode)? I currently have our desktop as the server
with the modem and router directly co...See More

The security key is normally accessed through the wireless
router directly. You need to log in to the router as an
administrator to have access to this WPA or WEP security
encryption function. Most routers, including the US Robotics
one that I use, are accessed through a 'local' (i.e., not
WEB) IP addres...See More

Ben As long as you are able to log into the router, you could make up a brand new key and then add it to the laptop. You do have to make sure you choose the correct encryption settings when setting up the key though. Good Luck!

My school is looking to implement a policy for teacher blogs and I was wondering if any of your schools have a blog use policy available online? Thanks a bunch!

V. Miller How are you blogging? With edublogs? Gaggle? Blogger? If you using an educational product, many times they are already filtered.

Grade level also needs to be taken into consideration. Are you high school, middle, or elementary?

We don't have a specific policy for blogging - we just use our AUP and leave it up to teacher's discreti...See More

My desktop is having major issues

by Ali/2nd

Jul 14, 2008

It is 6 years old. When we got it, we ordered it with extra memory. We used it for our business until 2 years ago. Just last year, we got internet service here at home and ever since it has had issues. It will freeze up often. It takes forever to boot up. When I try to login to my email thru Outlook, it comes up with a box preparing to install outl...See More

Mint As long as you backup your "My Documents" folder, then you can wipe it and reinstall everything from scratch. You could pay a shop to do it for you, but I would rather do it in 15 minutes for free rather then pay someone $100-$200 and have it take days to come back.

An XP disc typically wipes everything when it installs.

Aside from ssh so you can get into it from the outside world and so that you can quickly recover your machine if it goes belly up on you during school, the only other incoming port that need...See More

Typing in URL

Should 3rd grade students be able to type in their own web addresses? What if they mess up and go to the wrong site?

Comment

CTJS I do not allow my third grade students to type in URL's. I always have the links for them on my teacher page and I have a shortcut for my teacher page on their desktops. Before I had a teacher page, I had my links on ikeepbookmarks.com and I had a shortcut for that on their desktops.

Ron You need to goto: -> AppData

The AppData folder is where your browser profiles and Outlook data are stored, as well as everything else that you have defined via the application preferences.

If you are familiar with Mac's, then this is the same as the Library -> Preferences.
