I'm stumped. I've looked at the manuals, but still can't figure out. When you press the Menu button, are you supposed to then press Enter..and if so, are you supposed to see something onscreen? If you know of a site that gives better instructions than the manual on how to operate the remote/buttons, PLEASE SHARE!

High Performance is geared for maximum performance and responsiveness. It burns right through the battery though, so if you do a lot of work unplugged, you might want to switch your power plan to "power saver" mode during those times. I just carry my cord with me!
Another thing you can check that would improve your performance is to see what programs are running that aren't needed. In Vista, the sidebar is a memory hog. Windows Media Player is a huge memory hog too. There are also a lot of "little" unnecessary programs that run too that can add up to using memory.
Finally, periodically do a disk cleanup - not a scandisk, but just a simple disk cleanup, and then delete whatever it comes up with.
I normally communicate on another chatboard, but I am taking an online class this summer utilizing the above items. I would like to know how your teachers/students use any or all of them. Thanks
Well, most of my teachers don't use any technology in their classrooms. Some of them have a class webpage on the school's server based on a lame template created in Word (shudder, I know).
Blogs... All of my students will blog this year (grades 7-12). I will give them an article or a prompt to blog about and then require them to make "meaningful" comments on their classmates' blog entries. I may post a picture or video to blog about. I'm also going to assign some web2.0 apps for them to evaluate and blog about. I'm hoping that blogging will create an almost "underground level" of sorts for my classes, as well a improving their keyboarding skills and written communication skills. I plan to use ClassPress this year since it can be completely private while parents get used to the idea of their students blogging, then switch to Blogger. I'm springing for it myself.
Wikis, I just haven't pursued that yet. I understand how it works - I just haven't taken the time to set up one. I'm a web designer, so I've created all my classwork myself and have my own server for my classes. I do need to play with this though so I can share it with my teachers!
Podcasts.... The high school advanced science teacher used to create podcasts, but I think it just took too much time and no one really used them. I'm going to sneak the whole podcast process in on my kids by using Voki and VoiceThread. We've been using Audacity for our audio editing software, but this year I want to try Jokosher. I'm not really sold on podcasts by themselves in high school work, although they can be very useful for catching up on missed lectures or for reviewing lectures. I don't see any of me teachers doing that though.
Skype.... I so hope to use this! For one thing, so students at home can still participate in class. Also for bringing in guest speakers, or taking a virtual field trip with another class, or for sharing anything with another class maybe even in another country. My oldest daughter is headed off to college and we're definitely going to use it for that! I can also see it being useful for me personally in some professional development settings - interacting with someone who can help me learn something new or vice versa.
Hi. can anyone please answer a few questions about using Infinite campus? 1. I accidentally created my task groups twice for one class. Can I delete task groups? ( the weighted ones? ) 2. How can I add students photos to class rosters? Thanks so much to anyone who can help!!!
I'd like to make a website where I can put newsletters, grades, student work etc. I'd like part of the site to be available to the public and part of it to be available to parents who have a password. Is there anyplace like that out there that you know of? Thanks.
Try Standards Toolbox. It's free for individual teachers...See MoreI'd like to make a website where I can put newsletters, > grades, student work etc. I'd like part of the site to be > available to the public and part of it to be available to > parents who have a password.

Try Standards Toolbox. It's free for individual teachers. It also has a lesson plan database, state standards and other useful features. So far, I've experimented with the grade book and lesson planning.
