Hello music students:
I hope you’re all doing well! Since we can’t see each other right now, I have prepared songs and other activities for you to check out on the Dapplegray Music Team page. It's very important to keep singing and moving to music even though we can't be together right now.
To access Microsoft Teams for the first time, and to use the Dapplegray Music Team page, here is what you do:
- Go to the website Portal.pvpusd.net by typing that address into your browser.
- Enter the user name and password. The user name should be the student's PVPUSD ID# followed by "@pvpusd.net" The student's password is the 6-digit birth date (MM/DD/YY). It's the same log-in credentials the students use for their PVPUSD Portals for other purposes.
- Select the Office 365 app. Then select Teams.
- At that point you should be able to see all Teams that the student has been assigned to. Click on the Team you want to see, in this case the Dapplegray Music team .
- For future use, so that you don't have to continue to log in this way, I recommend you download the Teams software to your device from this initial page. Once I did this, I didn't need to log in any more; I just click on the icon on my desktop to open Teams. There are also phone apps and I presume tablet apps as well.
- You will see a row of clickable tabs at the top of the page. There is a Posts section where you will see your assignments and which you can use to commuicate with me about what you're doing for music. The next tab that we are using is Files. It contains folders with things like audio files so students can listen to the music and sing along with the songs I am assigning. If you haven't done any yet, just start with the first assignment I posted and keep going from there.
- I will post new assignments at the beginning of each week so keep checking and keep making music!
Thanks,
Anita Gendler, Dapplegray Music Specialist
