Now that August is ticking right along, think on these things:

If you receive a download link from the ICAM that ends in .wcc please be sure that you have installed the latest version of the ICAM digital Download Client. You will find that on our website, Tools and Downloads, ICAM Tools, or here:

If you serve more than one school corporation, be sure to choose the correct school from the drop-down menu before you begin to register a teacher, a student, or place a request.

If you serve more than one school corporation and you will be requesting audio-only files from Learning Ally, you will enter separate eVendor User Info for each school corp. Let me know if you need those credentials: mhammond.icam@ciesc.k12.in.us.

There have been difficulties with several Learning Ally accounts, which Chadd and Techies at Learning Ally are aware of and working on. Let us know if you experience issues here.

On the way to your office or classroom, do you pass a storage room of abandoned hardware?  Recycle!

• PATINS Refurbished Computer Program:  DEFINITELY, our preferred method for you to recycle your old computers.  The PATINS Refurbished computer program needs your used computers to refurb and put back into Indiana schools.  This has been a highly beneficial program to many Indiana students who might not have a computer to use otherwise.  If you have an old computer or are thinking of upgrading, PLEASE consider donating your old equipment to us.  Details on minimum requirements for donation and more info can be found here: www.patinsproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34&Itemid=33 Please pass along this information.

Recently brought to our attention are a few mistakes on the New DRM Orientation online training. Mea Culpa! I will fix that very soon! The basic information, though, is valid and correct.
