Some Wi-Fi Tips to keep in mind when working at home

• Go to https://fast.com and/or https://www.speedtest.net to test the speed of your connection.
  • It’s best to run several tests to get an average
  • Perform speed tests at different locations throughout the home to find where your Wi-Fi performs best
• It’s important to understand that a Zoom call is affected by both upload and download speeds.  Go to https://tinyurl.com/196ZoomSpeeds to learn more about what speeds are recommended depending on the type of Zoom call.
• Conserve bandwidth:
  • Be aware of siblings Zooming at the same time
  • Avoid High-Definition (HD) video if possible
  • If having issues, try switching from Gallery View to Active Speaker view in Zoom meetings
  • If still problematic, turn off video feed for Zoom meetings (be sure to inform teacher why)

Troubleshooting steps for viewing YouTube videos in Schoology:

1. “This video is restricted. Try signing in with a G Suite account” message 
   • Sign into YouTube when in the Schoology App
     • First time a student accesses a YouTube video linked in the Schoology app on an iPad they will need to sign into YouTube. HERE  is how students can sign into YouTube once they click on a linked YouTube video. After they’ve done this once they will be able to access the embedded and linked videos.
2. If you are unable to view YouTube videos outside of Schoology either in a browser or the YouTube app, there may be a restriction set in Screen Time that blocks certain video links. You can check to see if Screen Time is turned on by going to Settings>Screen Time on your iPad. If a Screen Time passcode has been set, email the TECH HELP FORM and we will help you resolve the situation. 

If you or your parents want more information about setting Screen Time restrictions, please see these directions from Apple or this video from ISD 196, or contact BHMS Tech through the TECH HELP FORM

Apple Screen Time can be turned on a student iPad to receive information on what apps and websites are being accessed and how much time is spent there. How often the iPad is picked up and how much time is spent on the device. To set up Screen Time, go to Settings> Screen Time and follow the prompts. Screen Time can be turned on without setting any limits or restrictions.

With Screen Time set up, the information can be viewed in Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity. Summaries of the current day and past week are available.

More information on Screen Time here.

Restrictions are also available in Screen Time. Parents can set allowances and limits for certain apps and websites. If parents want to place restrictions on the device, it is important to ensure that students can still access the apps and sites they need to do their school work, especially in this time of distance learning. For example, YouTube is essential in most classrooms during this time. Student iPads already include filtering through Securly to block inappropriate content and utilize Safe Search and YouTube Restricted Mode. 

If parents want more information about setting Screen Time restrictions, please see these directions from Apple or this video from ISD 196, or contact BHMS Tech through the TECH HELP FORM
