Introducing!
The New!
(and Improved)
Website!
It makes
finding what
you need
MUCH easier.
First, let me
show you a few
links that are
always in the
same spot.
These quick
links take you
to our most
popular pages
in one click.
You’ll find them
at the bottom
of every page
on the site.
Now, let’s
look at the
navigation
button.
From any page,
click:
The Power Button
The People
The Apple
to go to
different home pages.
Just like on the
old page,
we list the
latest news.
Now, we
also include
upcoming
events.
Let’s take a
look at the
News dropdown menu.
Clicking News
lets you scroll
through the
latest stories.
Clicking
Events Calendar
opens a
calendar view of
activities.
Stay Connected features
all the tools that keep
you in touch with
INFOhio.
The About
drop-down menu
contains lots of
useful links.
Use the How We Can Help page when
you need to show people how to get
started with the services INFOhio offers.
This is a “slider.” Each of the
eight pictures on the slider
features a different service.
For example, this one features the
Third Grade Reading Guarantee…
…while this one discusses how INFOhio
supplies equal access to digital tools.
Here’s the new
staff page
with all our
smiling faces.
Just click a
button to send
us an email.
One more thing
before we move on.
Our new site is
mobile friendly and
automatically
adjusts to the size of
your screen.
(This is how the page
looks on a mobile
phone.)
The site uses the standard mobile
navigation menu on smaller screens.
Now let’s move
from the main
home page to the
home page for
Students & Parents.
Click the
power button.
Then click the
people icon.
If you are logged in,
the student page looks like this.
If you are not logged in,
the page looks like this.
You have options
for logging in.
If you’re at school,
click the green button
to see if INFOhio can
recognize where
you’re sitting.
If you’re at home
and you know the
username and
password, just enter
them here.
If you’re at home
and DON’T know the
username and
password, click in the
purple box.
Then fill in these
blanks and click
Get My Password.
If your district has a
username and password,
it appears as shown here.
Otherwise, the state
username and password
appear.
Let’s take a look
at the PreK-5
Student page.
As on the old site,
it features just
tools appropriate
for PreK-5.
Notice that
Beginning Readers
tools are featured
here on the right.
This is the
Parent Page.
Here’s another
slider. This one
explains INFOhio
to parents.
Parents can also
find Homework
Help and tips for
choosing
“just right” books.
Now, let’s take a
look at the
Educator Home
Page.
Click the
people icon.
Then click the
apple icon.
This is the Educator
Home Page.
Notice that the
most popular tools
are available from
these boxes.
Everything else is
available from the
Menu Bar.
Click Professional
Development to see
a list of all our
training options.
Let’s take a look at
a new feature on
the ICoach page.
The regional map
is now interactive.
Click on a
region to find
the ICoaches
who work with
schools in that area.
The list appears
automatically.
Click the
orange button
to send the
ICoach an
email.
This is the
Tools & Resources
drop-down menu.
It takes you to all of
our tools for teachers
and students.
These little arrows
mean that you
go to a new site
when you
click the link.
Now, let’s move on
to the Library Staff
home page.
We’ve added feeds of
Toolkit Updates,
Handbook Updates,
and Quick Tips.
Speaking of
the handbook,
here’s its new
format.
Click any of
the major
headings to
drill down into
that section.
For example,
here is circulation
documentation.
Finally, let’s look
at the new
Toolkit.
Notice the
categories have
changed.
Slides and flyers
that were under
Common Core
are now in
Presentations
and in Flyers.
This is the flyer page.
As before you can download a version
with the state username and password
Or with blanks for you to enter your
district’s username and password.
Thank you
for watching!
