LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Our students recently received their own Net accounts. I am trying to
help them learn to get online, and have been working with them
one-on-one. What a totally frustrating experience! They start by typing
in their Username and Password (system assigned) then are asked to change
their Password and verify. -think again. We've had maybe two do it
successfully. Of course, to make it more stressful, there's a time limit
and they're logged back out of the system. Not to mention the times they
type in their Password incorrectly spelled so don't duplicate it the
second time. These are high school students-I can't imagine younger
ones. YES, they need to learn to type. When the computer says "Press
any key to continue" I won't get -- I can't, there's no Any key on the
computer :}
