Today’s Topic: Adding a Public Calendar to Your Calendar List in Outlook
Who? Users who frequently access public calendars in Outlook.
Why? Public calendars in Outlook are buried deep in the Outlook folders, requiring several clicks (and a good memory) in order to get to them. This demonstration gives you one-click (yes, that’s just one click) access to the calendars you frequently access. What will you do with all your extra time?
How? Watch this short screencast:

Are You in the Correct Email Distribution Groups? Plus a Bonus Demonstration!
Today’s Topic: “Are You in the Correct Email Distribution Groups?”
Who? Anyone who gets email from groups they no longer are a part of.
Why? We’re all members of at least at least a few district distribution groups in Outlook (e.g. 4th Grade Teachers or ActivBoard Users). This allows people to easily email all members of that group. It’s only a problem when you’re no longer a member of a group but you keep getting the emails. This screencast shows you how to easily see which distribution lists you’re currently a member of. If you discover you are a member of group you no longer belong to, simply send a Tech Repair Request explaining you’d like to be removed from that group. NOTE: You cannot ask to be deleted from all-staff distribution lists (e.g. SL Staff, etc.) or TEA, etc. ANOTHER NOTE: This screencast shows you how to see what distribution groups you belong to at the district level (e.g. distribution lists that everyone has access to). If you are a member of someone’s personal distribution list, you’ll need to contact that person directly to ask to be removed if necessary.*

*If you’re uncertain about the difference between district-level (or “global”) distribution lists and personal distribution lists, you can watch this bonus F1 video demonstration. (Yes, that makes this a 2 for 1 F1 Tuesday!)
