Editor's Notes
This presentation can be used by a facilitator to lead a group of Calgary Catholic School District employees on how to activate, access, and set-up their @learn.cssd.ab.ca – google accounts. The Notes will be in regular type. Script will be italicized.Welcome! This short presentation will guide you through the activation, access, and set-up of your new ‘learn’ account. These accounts were created by a partnership with Google. All information is housed by Google, but has been integrated with our Active Directory for user accounts and passwords. All communications received and sent through these accounts are monitored by district personnel.”
Turn-on your computer. Once the log-on screen appears, enter your credentials and log into your computer. Be patient and wait for the entire log-on and boot-up sequence to complete.
