Helpful Tips for Easiteach <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">**How to block auto-updates in Easiteach** One nice feature in ETNG is the auto-update function that allows users to download the latest versions of the program. However, some schools don’t like this feature because it can cause a strain on a school’s Internet connection if many teachers all update at the same time. Also, some schools discourage teachers from performing these kinds of updates. Here is a summary of how to block these updates: 1. Go to C:\Program Files\RM\Easiteach Next Generation 2. Open the file: 'LightboxEducation.Easiteach.Shell.exe.config' and change the value of 'EnableUpdateCheck' to 'false' <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">**Easiteach e-Course launched on Easiteach.com** A free, six-part e-Course for Easiteach Next Generation is now available for customers on Easiteach.com. The course is designed to give customers helpful activity ideas and tips for making the most of the many tools in ETNG. After a user registers for the course they receive an email once every 5 days for 30 days. Each email introduces the customers to different classroom-ready ideas and provides them with step-by-step instructions for activities such as creating a weather map and collecting statistical data and capturing it in a graphic organizer. ||
