This week, I talked to
every grade level except Pre-K about WebDesk. We discussed what it is, how to
add apps and how to access saved files in the students’ home folder.
WebDesk is a dashboard
with different apps that students and teachers can use to access all of the
resources and tools they need in one location. Once you have logged in the
first time, you do not have to log in again thanks to Class Link. This greatly
minimizes the amount of time it takes to get students to log in and get
started.
Adding an app is as easy
as clicking on a plus sign. That will bring up the App Library where students
can select the app they wish to add.
We added the KOHA app (green
book) which is the library catalog app.
This app allows students
to see what books they have checked out, search for books in the library
catalog and easy access to our library resource page.
Students may access any
saved files in their H: or Home drive by clicking on the My Files link at the
bottom center of the dashboard.
From there they click on
School Network and then Home folder.
In Pre-K, I read Thank
You, Mr. Panda by Steve Antony.
