Sharepoint Access
1. What is Sharepoint, and how much storage do we have?
Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, aka, Sharepoint or “student portal” is a web based application that allows teachers to create classroom web sites that their students can access from school or home. Teachers have the ability to post a calendar, assignments, projects, messages, etc. Teachers will also have 500 MB of storage on the web server that they can also access from home. Students will also have their own Sharepoint space with 100 MB of storage. They will be able to upload assignments to the teacher site. Teachers will be able to view student files, but students will not be able to view teacher files.
2. How do I log in?
Teachers & Students (and Parents with student password) only:
From the Landstown High School web site (which is obviously where you are now unless you printed this page, click on LHS Intranet in the top right (under the fax number).If you are using a school computer, all you need do is click on My Site in upper right corner, and you will be taken to your own site.
If you are not at a school computer, a log in box will appear.
At the login screen . . . .
Teachers must type: id_name@vbschools.com (or vbschools\ID) and password
Students must type: id_#@vbstudents.com (or vbstudents\ID) and password
3. Where can I read about Sharepoint and get help?
There are teacher and student help pages on the portal.
Teachers can access http://studentportal.vbschools.com/teacherinfo which has the training documentation.
Students can access http://studentportal.vbschools.com/StudentInfo/default.aspxIf you are doing this from home, it will ask you to authenticate; i.e. login (see #2). Both of these pages will have an automatic link to your Sharepoint Home Page when you are logged on.
