Let’s Catch Up Okay, so you have downloaded the OIEP

template and hopefully you have had some time to play around with the template and the handheld in order to get used to the look and feel of the walkthrough process.

In the last tutorial, you were instructed on how to download the template and each of you checked to make sure that all of your teachers were listed per your school(s).

Needed corrections were sent to me and all updates have been made. As changes need to be made continue to contact me (i.e., staff changes, etc.)

4

Now, We need to take the walkthrough process to

the next level. That level is uploading finished walkthroughs

to your online Media-X desktop. And learning to manipulate, edit, print, etc.,

the walkthroughs that you have generated

5

Step #1 Make sure that you have a walkthrough

completed and ready to upload. This walkthrough can be an actual

walkthrough on an employee or it can be one that is just for practice (fictitious).

Take a second to make sure that you have at least one walkthrough completed for this tutorial.

Step #2 Go to the following site

https://mxweb.media-x.com/home/westvirginia/

•You should now see the following on your computer or laptop screen.•Log in using your username and the password of 123456•If you forget your username a hint is your e-mail.

Log In

7

Step #3 After you have logged in with your username

and password your computer screen should resemble what is pictured.

Remember, if your screen does not have everything that I have pictured it is okay, it is just a layered access thing…

Now, click on the eWalk icon

Step #4

Step #5

•Take a moment to look at your desktop carefully. Notice all of the selection choices.•Notice also that I have NO walkthroughs at this time.•If you have some listed you are a step ahead (good job), don’t worry we will discuss shortly

eWalk is the only product choice

There are no categories

There are only two templates right now. Potomac Center has its own

Let’s Switch Gears for a Second

11

Step #6 Now, leave your laptop/computer sit for just a

second, we are now going to prepare your handheld for upload.

Take your handheld from the cradle Select the Microsoft window in the upper left

hand corner to get to all files From the dropdown menu, select eWalk. It will

be a tiny icon that looks like this When eWalk opens you will have 4 choices,

select from the listing Upload/Download Look a the handheld menu very carefully

Step #6 Visual

Upload/Download

Quit

Click the Upload/Download button

13

Notice Your handheld is already configured. You will

never need to enter the setup information again.

This is good news. You will not need to enter any numbers or check the configuration. It is correct and will remain so throughout.

When you do an upload you do not need to GENERATE files. The only time that you generate files is when you are downloading a template, and/or corrected/added teacher names to your facility.

Uploading walkthroughs is a process of its own

14

Step #7 From this listing make sure that you have a

check mark in the box beside the following:

Download Subjects (Staff, Students, etc.)

Download Comments from the Comment Library

Delete all Walkthroughs after Upload

Put your handheld back in the cradle!

Step #8 With your palm back in the cradle (docking

station) click on:

Delete all Walkthroughs after Upload

Upload

DONEStatus:

Your status bar will begin to connect to the online location and download the files that you generated previously. It will work and work until you see the word DONE.

This will upload all of the walkthroughs on your handheld to your online desktop, while at the same time deleting them from your handheld to save memory/space

Worth Noting Currently we are using “generic” comments in

our comment library. I would like very much to start to get your ideas for quick comments that WE can add to our own comment library.

If you want to contribute to the comment library send me some ideas via email.

As site administrator, you can build your own comments in your own library. I can help you if you want to do your own.
