ICT Teacher Handbook Introduction Welcome to ISS.
As we continually move forward into the digital age, student’s learning needs are changing. At ISS we are committed to our mission of developing an appreciation of learning as a life-long process and to do so by delivering a dynamic curriculum. One strategy ISS has decided to use to assist in delivering the skill set and knowledge that is required for a 21st century learner is a notebook 1:1 program. All students from Grade 7-12 have a personal MacBook, which can be used in every class and at home. Each teacher also has a MacBook and has access to StudyWiz and Managebac our online learning environments, wiki and blog servers. This is supported by an extensive wireless access throughout both campuses. Moving forward, ISS will be working with teachers to improve their technical competencies and then develop a teaching pedagogy that reflects the demands of our students.
PD – ISS 1:1 MacBook programme
The ICT Integrator is available to provide professional development opportunities on an individual or a departmental basis. Staff should get in contact with the ICT Integrator to establish suitable time to plan as soon as possible during the early stages in the planning of units.
Individual eLearning Goals The ICT Integrator can help you establish eLearning goals, which are focused on developing teaching pedagogy. The coordinator can spend time with teachers helping integrate the eLearning strategies into a unit of work, according to our school wide eLearning framework. You can be observed in the classroom and helped to complete your goals. Any feedback then can be used by you to link back into the ISS appraisal system.
eLearning tips Teachers should share examples of best practice int their departmental or staff meetings. These can be related to a staff member’s personal eLearning goals.
Internal School Wide Professional Development There will be opportunities during staff in-service days and staff meetings where you staff can share ideas with colleagues about integrating ICT into your classroom.
External Professional Development Opportunities On occasions, outside experts will work with teachers to integrate ICT into the curricumlum. The school will also promote opportunities to attend local workshops with ICT focus. ISS teachers and administrators will be working towards integrating ICT best practice into their classrooms. Pedagogical change is a long process that happens over years. Teachers are not expected to make wholesale changes to their teaching in single year, but make small steps to develop a teaching and learning environment that reflects the needs of 21st century students. 4
ISS eLearning Framework Introduction
Why are we creating change in the classroom? We are trying to shift towards a model of 21st century learning, which will help students become able citizens and employees in the future, but to also help them succeed in their learning at school. Therefore we are making learning relevant to these students through effective use of the notebook and integration of ICT into the curriculum.
A Framework for eLearning at ISS As a staff we can create the links between our teaching units, the levels of the taxonomy we would like to develop and eLearning tools or Digital Approaches available at ISS. The plan is to make teachers aware of why they are using ICT tools, and to refine how they use these tools to improve learning at the different levels of the Digital Taxonomy.

Password Security Password Security is the responsibility of the individual. Passwords should be formulated in such a way that they are easily remembered but difficult to guess and should be formulated using letters (upper and lower case), figures and other characters. When allocated a new/temporary password for start-up use, the user should immediately change it. Passwords should consist of a minimum of 8 characters and for strong passwords should also include 2 numbers. Passwords should not be written down. Passwords should not relate to the system or the user, although passwords must be easy to remember. Passwords should be changed regularly. Email Web address: http://issmail.iss.edu.sg Email: username Password: 12345iss Gmail accounts have been created for all students. Remind students that they will need to check their Gmail account on a regular basis, as this is the preferred method of contact with ISS International School. Any school related email should be done using this account. 5
The format of student email addresses is the student’s four-digit student number followed by @iss.edu.sg. eg. 7777@iss.edu.sg The default password is 12345iss (the same as the staff password) and they will be required to change it after they login the first time.

MacBook Basics Logging In
For most teachers, MacBook Pros are setup with two accounts. 1. Your name: This account is for you to use as you wish. This is where you keep your personal documents, teaching resources, movies, photos and music etc. 2. Administrator Account: This account is used by ISS to troubleshoot technical issues as well as installing software. When starting the MacBook you should see a log in screen with various accounts. Choose your name from the list. Your password by default is 123456. When changing your password it is important you do not change it unless you are connected to the school server. You should now be logged into your MacBook on your account.
Changing Password You can change it to anything you like but, if you change your password when not connected to the school wireless network, you will not be able to log into the school servers. 1. Make sure you are at school 2. Make sure you are connected to the school wireless, ISS_HighSchool, ISS_EMS should be ticked. 3. Open System Preferences

4. Click on the Accounts icon or Users & Groups (depending on the version of your Operating System)
5. Select Change Password
6. Fill in the form. Click on Change Password and you are done.
Top Tips on Maintaining your Notebook
Notebooks let you do anything on the go, from working on tasks such as lesson preparation to keeping in touch with family and colleagues. Follow these handy tips to keep these devices working perfectly. 1. Backup Regularly This will make life easier if something goes wrong - say, your notebook is lost or the hard drive crashes. You’ll easily be able to pick up where you left off on another machine. Data can be backed up onto external hard drives or online file-hosting services. Backups should be scheduled automatically. See page 13 - Time Machine. 2. Keep it Clean Prevention is better than cure, so install anti-virus software on your notebook (especially Windows home machines) and scan regularly. Don’t forget to update anti-virus software regularly, so new viruses don’t slip through the cracks. Be wary of downloading suspicious files or programmes. As far as possible, try to download files only from trusted sources. 3. Keep it Cool Excessive heat can damage critical components like hard disks and graphics chips, so keep your notebook away from direct sunlight. If you have cooling vents on your notebook, make sure they are blocked. 4. De-clutter Delete unnecessary files like those in your browser’s cache - these take up hard disk space and slows down your 8
notebook. Some programs also launch immediately when a notebook boots up. These will be running in the background, using system resources. Disable them if they’re not needed immediately or on a regular basis. 5. Magnetic Fields Don’t use notebooks close to devices - such telelvisions, large speakers and refrigerators - that generate strong magnetic fields. Magnetic fields that are too strong can erase or corrupt data on hard disks. 6. Handle with Care Handle notebooks with care. Components such as keyboards and LCD screens are integrated. If they are damaged they’ll be more difficult to replace, and also more costly to repair.
Printing and Scanning High School
The photocopiers in the library and in the printing room in Block One (under Room 107) can be used to bulk print. You can send documents directly from your MacBook to the photocopiers.
Printing Room: B&W printing
Library: Colour, B&W printing and Scanner.

Switching to the Mac All About “Lion”
What’s this business about big cats? Most software companies develop their wares in secret, using code names for new products to throw outsiders off the scent. Apple’s code names for Mac OS X and its descendants have been named after big cats: Mac OS X was Cheetah, 10.1 was Puma, 10.2 was Jaguar, 10.3 was Panther, 10.4 was Tiger, 10.5 was Leopard, 10.6 was Snow Leopard, 10.7 is Lion; the next version is called 10.8 Mountain Lion.
What Mac OS X Gives You These days, a key attraction of the Mac, at least as far as switchers are concerned, is security. There isn’t yet a single widespread Mac OS X virus. (Even Microsoft Word macro viruses don’t run in Mac OS X.) Along the same lines, there have been no reported sightings of spyware (malicious software that tracks your computer use and reports it back to a shady company) for Mac OS X. Mail, Mac OS X’s built-in email program, deals surprisingly well with spam, the unsolicited junk email that’s become the scourge of the Internet.
The Lion Difference: iPad Techniques If you could choose only one word to describe Apple’s overarching design goal in Mac OS X Lion, there’s no doubt about what it would be: iPad. That’s right. In Lion, Apple has gone about as far as it could go in trying to turn the Mac into an iPad.
Two things have made the iPad the fastest-selling electronic gadget in history. First, it’s so simple. No overlapping windows; every app runs full screen. No Save But there’s another reason, too: Mac OS X is a very command; everything’s autosaved. No files or folders. No young operating system. It was created only in 2001, menus. All your apps are in one place, the Home screen. and with security in mind. (Contrast that with Windows, To beginners, technophobes, and even old-timers, the whose original versions were written before the Internet iPad’s software represents a refreshing decluttering of the even existed.) Mac OS X is simply designed better. Its modern computer. built-in firewall makes it virtually impossible for hackers to break into your Mac, and the system insists on getting The second huge iPad sales point is that multitouch your permission before anything gets installed on your screen. You operate the whole thing by touching or dragging your fingers on the glass. For example, you cycle Mac. Nothing can get installed behind your back. through screens by swiping. You zoom out on a map, photo, or Web page by pinching two fingers. You rotate a photo by twisting two fingers, and so on. So Apple thought: If simplicity and touch gestures made the iPad a megahit, why can’t we do the same for the Mac? And it set out to bring as many of the iPad’s features and as much of its personality to your Mac as possible. Lion features like Full Screen mode, Auto Save, and Launchpad are total iPad rip-offs; if Apple hadn’t stolen these features from itself, it would surely be suing for copyright infringement. Knowing what you’re doing on the Mac often requires knowing that things are called. Here are some of the most common on screen elements. They include checkboxes (turn on as many as you like) and radio buttons (only one can be turned on in each grouping). Pressing Return is usually the same as clicking the default button - the lower-right button that almost always means “OK, I’m done here.”
Apple even brought over the whole multi-touch thing to the Mac.

Backing Up Your Documents Time Machine
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who have a regular backup system - and those who will. You’ll get that grisly joke immediately if you’ve ever known the pain that comes with deleting the wrong folder by accident, or making changes that you regret, or worst of all, having your hard drive die. All those photos, all that music you’ve bought online, all your email - gone. Yet the odds are overwhelming that at this moment, you do not have a complete, current, automated backup of your Mac. Despite about a thousand warnings, articles, and cautionary tales a year, guess how many do? About four percent. Everybody else is flying without a net. If you don’t have much to back up - you don’t have much in the way of photos, music, or movies—you can get by with burning copies of stuff onto blank CDs or DVDs or using a free online backup system like Dropbox, CrashPlan, or IDrive. But those methods leave most of your Mac unprotected: all your programs and settings, not to mention Mac OS X itself. What you really want, of course, is a backup that’s rocksolid, complete, and automatic.
The Mac has just encountered a second hard drive. Time Machine still works if there’s other stuff on the drive, but life is simpler if you don’t use that drive for anything but Time Machine.
You don’t want to have to remember to do a backup, to insert a disc, and so on. You just want to know you’re safe. That’s the idea behind Time Machine, a marquee feature of Mac OS X. It’s a silent, set-it-and-forget-it piece of peace of mind. You sleep easy, knowing there’s a safety copy of your entire system: your system files, programs, settings, music, pictures, videos, document files - everything. If your luck runs out, you’ll be so happy you set up Time Machine. Setting up Time Machine Here’s the bad news: Time Machine requires a second hard drive. That’s the only way to create a completely safe, automatic backup of your entire main hard drive. That second hard drive can take any of these forms: • An external USB or FireWire hard drive.
Use the big On/Off switch to shut off all Time Machine activity, although it would be hard to imagine why you’d want to risk it. You can click Select Disk to choose a different hard drive to represent the mirror of your main drive (after the first one is full, for example).
• An Apple Time Capsule.

Launchpad Launchpad is a new app that displays all your programs’ icons at once, neatly spaced and ready to open with a single click. To see more pages full of icons, swipe left or right with two fingers on your trackpad. Put four fingers on the trackpad (thumb and three fingers), and pinch them inward toward the centre. 1. If you have a mouse, just click Launchpad on the Dock. 2. With two fingers on the trackpad, swipe left or right to change “pages.”
