April 2020 Technology Update

FMX: Report Summary for March 2020 is below. As of April 2, 2020 there are 8 open requests.

Directions on using FMX:1. Go to https://loganelm.gofmx.com. 2. There are 2 login boxes. Click on the "Log In with AD FS" gray box. 3. Enter your email address (first.last@loganelm.org) and your password that you use to access your email. Click on the "Create Request" button in the upper right corner and choose the type of request you need to add.

The site is very intuitive to use. If you have any questions or need assistance, click on the "Help & Updates" link in the bottom left. There are training videos and a FAQ.

Inventory: I have completed updating the technology inventory that I started in December. If you have a chromebook at home from your cart, please let me know. I have marked some chromebooks as Lost/Missing due to teachers taking them home.

Powering off computers when not in use: I realize that a lot of you are going into the buildings at various times to get some work done. If you turn your computer on, please turn it off when you leave. Leaving a computer on for days only wastes electricity. All of our desktop computers have solid state drives and boot within a couple minutes.
