Changing Google password
- Password cannot be changed from the Google interface directly
- ASD support says you can change it from within Clever, and it will be changed for everywhere else
- At the bottom of the Clever page is a 'Change student password' link
- Use lastname.firstname@asdk12.org (.org, not .net!) to sign in
- Then change your password as prompted
- Technical note: on the back end, this account is actually mapped to lastname.firstname@asdk12ak.onmicrosoft.com

Security tips
-
Good infographic showing how Zooms should be secured
- Do not make meetings or classrooms public: In Zoom, there are two options to make a meeting private: require a meeting password or use the waiting room feature and control the admittance of guests.
- Create a waiting room so that participants can't interact until the meeting starts.
- Do not share Zoom conference links on public social media: Provide the link directly to specific people.
- Manage screen-sharing options: In Zoom, change screen sharing to 'Host Only.'
- Ensure users keep their Zoom clients up to date: In January 2020, Zoom updated their software. In their security update, the teleconference software provider added passwords by default for meetings and disabled the ability to randomly scan for meetings to join.
- On April 1 2020, Zoom made additional significant security improvements and commitments
