Tech Tuesday – October 11: Editing Fields in Info Manager and Wireless Mics
TechTuesday
A weekly tip from your neighborhood Instructional Technology and eHR team
Tip #1 – Let’s get technical! Technical!
Ok, this week, we are really getting into Info Manager. Let’s say you want more or less fields in your Info Manager report. Here’s how you do it.
Right-click anywhere in your report and select “Edit Report.”
The next screen shows Files, Fields, and Selected.
Single-click something in Files to display all the different fields you can have in your report. Double-click a Field or select it and click “Add” to add it to the Selected section. To remove, select that item and click “Remove.” Once finalized, click OK and your report will display in Info Manager with your new fields. From there you enter parameters like we learned last week and run your report.
Tip #2 –
The best tips are easy to do and have dramatic effects. This is one of those tips. Are you ready?
Move around more in your classrooms. That’s it. Don’t stay at the lectern. This is a time-tested public speaking and teaching technique that increases engagement tremendously and retains student attention!
Formerly you were tethered to the lecterns because of our microphone situation, but now, we have wireless mics available for every classroom. See our instructional technology team if you’d like to check one out so you can finally dance around while teaching your favorite subject.
Pro tip!! – When using these wireless mics, don’t push the volume up too much on the Crestron. It distorts the audio.
