Computer Lab Troubleshooting
The Computer lab can be a frustrating environment to teach a lesson. Here is the Cool Teacher's Guide on how to successful hook your students up.

Synchronization and You
In today’s fast paced world there is hardly enough time to stop and sample the bleu cheese bagel dog bites at Costco let alone synch all the recent files on your computer. Similarly to free food there are many opinions as to synchronization’s safety. “I’ll synch tomorrow” and “What will it hurt to synch later just one more time?” are words I often hear emanating from the doorways and windows of ISM. Too many are the good people of ISM who have been victims to ignorance and shame, prisoners to rumor and pestilence. Unfortunately, synching has gotten a bad rap as a dirty habit when it is actually a healthy and natural procedure for your computer. Believe me when I tell you that when you stop being scared and start becoming comfortable and intimate with synchronization the whole world becomes more alive!

In this tutorial Matt will teach you how to make synchronization work for you and start living the right way…

Keychain
This tutorial applies to those people who keep having an annoying keychain password box pop up in the middle of using programs, especially Safari.
