Parent Workshops #2

Hi everyone,
We had a great session this afternoon looking at how to access the DET portal from home.
The DET Portal houses Learning Links, Library Enquiry (including 'Links for Learning'), TALE ( Teaching and Learning Exchange) and student email accounts. This proved to be the most exciting by far!

There are a number of ways you can access the portal from home.

• Click on 'Links for Kids' on the left hand side panel and the link to 'Kidspace' is there.
• Google using the key words 'det portal'and click on the link that says  'My Portal Login Page'.
  
• Copy and past the URL portal.det.nsw.edu.au. into your browser.

All students have a username and password.

Their username is their firstname.surname
All letters must be lowercase and must have a fullstop between the first and surname.

You will need to ask your child about their password as it is TOP SECRET!!

If your child is not sure of their password then they can come to the Library on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday morning and I will reset it for them.

There is a wealth of information available to parents and students so please come and ask if you need help accessing.

If you missed todays session, we can do a quick recap next Monday.

Thank you parents who attended today's session. Your input and enthusiasm was fantastic.

I'll update with some photos soon.
