In a bid to make the transition to NIS as smooth as possible, a Tech Guide for New Staff has been created and distributed.

It covers a wide range of tech topics including, Laptop Support Basics, Essential Bookmarks, Key Smartphone Apps, NIS Tech Policies, WeChat Groups and many many others.

The Tech Guide comes in the form of a 45 page Interactive Presentation and can be found here.  It works best when downloaded and opened locally on your laptop, as it will then open in full screen presentation view.

If there are any additions or changes that you feel may further assist staff in their transition to NIS, please let me know.

Cheers,  Ken.

Dear all,

As we start a new school year, please take a look at your email signature. It should be just like the one below:

-You can find the e-signature file in our Sharepoint, as well as a how-to guide here: www.nischina.org/brand

-To help keep the brand consistency of NIS, please do not modify the e-signature file except by filling in your text details (no photos, stickers, graphic credentials, etc).

-If you need assistance installing the e-signature, IT will be happy to help in you online or in-person in the HUB.

Best regards,

Communications
