A
Information on how to change your password is on the Tech Help Desk page. Click on the link to the left to find the information for download.
2)  Q Can I edit my class pages from home?
A
Yes. The process is the same as at school because access to the pages is through an Internet browser.
3)  Q How can I find my PIN for Workshop registration?
A
If your email address is in the system, you can ask the system to email your PIN to you; otherwise contact either your campus staff development coordinator or your campus technology advisor for assistance.
4)  Q How do I cite a source of information in a project?

A good resource for citing electronic information is available from Tech4Learning at www.tech4learning.com. Look for ProjectLearn Citing Resources.
5)  Q What is the District ID for Workshop registrations?

The District ID is 52915. User ID numbers are individual social security numbers and unique PIN numbers. If you do not know your PIN, the system will email the number to your MCISD email address.
6)  Q How can I get my transcript of all the Inservices I have attended?
A
To print your own transcript, log in to the Eduphoria Workshop. Click on the My Portofolio Link on the left side of the screen. From that page you can print your transcript by clicking on the Print icon found in the middle of the screen.
7)  Q What is the Mission Educators Standards for Technology Certification Program?
A
The MESTCP is an Instructional Technology training program based on the State Board of Education Standards for all teachers. It is a goal of TEA that all teachers are able to meet the minimum standards by the 2007-2008 school year. The Texas STaR Chart survey is one method used to track progress on all our campuses. Another will be participation in activities that lead to certification through MESTCP.
