A proposed account naming convention for next year for all District Wide Login + Learn60 accounts is as follows:
Username: LegalFirstname.LegalLastname## where ## will be a common number that we will announce later. This username would need to be at or under 20 characters due to system restrictions.
Password: Two leading zeros and the student number.
We’d use the same account and password for District Wide Login and Learn 60. If we are able to link the two they will be synchronized. If not we will create matching accounts so at the very least they will be the same to start with.
We are going to do a character count on all accounts and see if the addition of the ## at the end will cause us more grief than it can be worth for other logistical purposes of keeping them. There is a possibility that we can go over 20 characters in the future that we will look into as well.
We recognize that this could be challenging for younger students however we know there are strategies to support them in using their own account. Further each elementary schools has their own simple shared default lab account that can be used if students do not need to save files or print.
Since the smartest mind in the room is the room we’d ask for your comments on this. Public comments can be made using the commenting system on this post. Private comments are welcome by email.
