Which browser is which?

How do you decide which browser to use when you go online?

Here are a few suggestions that might help you decide what to use. Post a comment about the browser you find most beneficial.

SIS
You must use Internet Explorer! This is the one browser SIS says will work all the time. There is one tiny little option you need to select to enable compatibility mode which will help you to enter your grades like a pro!

You know your browser is in compatibility mode when the icon (looks like ripped paper) is glowing blue. It should remain in this mode until you disable it. You can disable it by clicking on the icon and the icon will be grayed out.

Everything Else

Use Chrome for the rest of your browsing on the web.

Did you know there are two versions of Chrome on Windows 8? See the two images below to see the difference and how to toggle between the two.

Traditional Desktop Mode

This is the one you are most familiar with. You can see the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

Windows 8 Mode

The most obvious difference is there is no task bar at the bottom of the screen.

Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4. Save changes . That is it. Now your inbox will automatically alert people that you are not in your...
