The Yoga is here

Thank you to all of the MS colleagues who came to collect their laptops and made it a festive occasion. I look forward to hearing what you like and don't like about it and how I can help you to learn more about your new device.

As we said at the meeting, the laptops have a basic set of programs which we expect most teachers will need. Other programs which are not needed by every teacher are available to install at the ISL Kiosk. This is a webpage from which you can install other programs as you wish. The link is only available in school at the moment because of the licenses. The link is the long line of green text below which you can paste into your browser (you can only access this when you are on the school network).

Please let Jason know if there are programs which you would like to have be able toinstall on the laptop via the Kiosk. You are the administrator of your machine and so can install programs from other sources too. But, of course, we are allowed only to install programs which we are legally entitled to (no pirates and only free or paid software for which you have the licence).




The slideshow at the top of the post will grow to become a Yoga Thinkpad self-training module. For now, you could try the quiz on slide 6, as have a couple of colleagues  (I am the only one to score 100% up to this point and that was on my second attempt even though I wrote it).

Testmoz is one of several online tools (no login required) where you can very easily design tests which self-mark (or get the class to make tests for each other while revising?).


I am grateful for the patience of the rest of the staff who are yet to get their laptop (August is not too far away!).


Thank you to Gilbert for dealing with the first annoying issue which has come up. If you are being bugged by the Switch between apps notification, there are ways to remove it temporarily or permanently described here.
