How to Change Your Password:  For Your OUESD Computer (network account) and OUESD Email

We all need to change our passwords at least every 90 days.  There are three things to keep in mind before starting:

  • When you change the password on your computer, it automatically changes your email password too!  But it doesn’t work the other way around- you must start by changing your computer password.
  • In order to change your computer password, you must be on a district computer at a school site or the District Office.  You won’t be able to change your computer password at home, on a personal computer, or off site.
  • When you change your password, you’ll also need to change your password on your phone.

Unplug and Appreciate the Human Connection

Hello!  In consideration of recent events, I’d like to share this as our Tuesday Tech Tip~

Technology is truly awesome and a major tool for leading us towards greater things.  But no matter how fast, fancy or powerful  the technology becomes, let’s always remember the value of the human connection.  The friendships we make and the minds we touch will always be the most powerful force of all.

So, here’s your Tech Tip-   Don’t forget to turn the tech toys off from time to time!  Don’t become so addicted that you miss out on valuable interactions and down time!  Laugh, enjoy the sunshine, offer an act of kindness.  Our offline activities give our minds a chance to rejuvenate, connect, and innovate too!   Give your family and those you care about an extra hug today.  🙂
