5. Training Team Update
 Dear Teachers,
This is just a quick update from the training team. Please
remember to visit our Open House sessions M-F 11-1 Eastern
and M-TH 6-8 Eastern. It is a great place to get those “how to”
questions answered and to evaluate what may be perceived
a technology issue that may possibly be something we can fix
without escalating.
We are happy to announce a new category in our IST
ticketing system – K12 Training/Tagging. If you visit K12training
and search for a Quick Reference Guide you cannot locate
please submit a ticket through this new category choice to let
us know what you are searching for and cannot locate (see
image on next slide). If it is a guide that does exist we will
respond with how to locate and possibly adjust our tagging
and if it is a document not created we will evaluate if one
needs to be created. In any case we will be able to help you
with the issue at hand.
Quick Reminder –IST teachers should submit all tickets through
the IST portal located at http://ist.k12.com/ics/support/
 Thanks Your Training Team
