Good morning,
Some of you may be wondering about how to get content from your classes, ASAs, etc onto the screens around the school. Here is a reminder about how to do that.
First, as they are horizontal screens, we would like to ask that any content you do submit, that you follow these protocols:
- For all media submissions, please ensure that they maximize the horizontal perspective that the screens provide (i.e. landscape layout)
- If you are submitting a single document (i.e. flyer) please make sure to make the text as large as possible (again using landscape layout) and high-resolution images (200dpi/A3 format would help ensure the size and pictures look correct)
- Keep videos to 1GB or less
- Remove audio from any video for the screens
- If you are unsure about how to make a slideshow, you can just put all the pictures in a folder and put your request to make a slideshow in your email
- Save the content (as described above) in a folder on the Large File Storage server (either Student or Teacher, doesn’t matter as long as you follow Step #2)
- Send the link/folder location to it-help@nanjing-school.com
- Please put an appropriate subject heading (like Student Council poster, Swimming Gala, etc.) on the email in Step #2
- Please also include the duration that you would like your media to run (i.e. 1 week, 2 days, etc., keeping in mind that 2 weeks is maximum duration)
And don’t hesitate to ask us for help as well, if you have an idea but you’re not quite sure how to make it happen. But please give us at least 24 hours (1 full day) notice.
Second, here is the list of screens and their location:
- 2nd Floor Cafe – the Centre (Pool/Activities)

All the best,
Your Friendly IT Department
