Media-X eWalk Walkthrough Install Training- Part Two Topic: Uploading Completed Walkthroughs Office of Institutional Education Programs 1
Welcome! This step by step tutorial is designed to help you through the walkthrough upload process It may be a good idea to print this document out so that you have it handy as we proceed If you have problems with the upload at the completion of this tutorial, please contact me and we will troubleshoot the issue together. Tracy L. 2
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.) 3
Now, 4 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
Step #1 5 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 6 Go to the following site Log In
Step #3 7 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 # Make sure and select the Walkthrough tab. 2.From this menu – select Walkthroughs (manage walkthroughs)
Step #5 9 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 10
Step #6 11 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 12 New Walkthrough Review Walkthroughs Upload/Download Quit Click the Upload/Download button
Notice 13 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
Step #7 14 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 15 With your palm back in the cradle (docking station) click on: Delete all Walkthroughs after Upload Upload DONE Status: 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
Now, lets go back to your laptop/desktop 16 We are finished with the handheld
This is where we left your laptop/desktop Log out of Media-X

Explanations 24 If I want to delete the walkthrough I simply click the red X. You can also click on the trash can. If I want to edit the template and make changes I click on the edit icon. When I finish my edits I need to make sure and save. Save is always located at the bottom and the top of the screen choices. If I want to print out this walkthrough, I simply click on the printer icon and choose my printer. A printer Icon sits at the top of each screen as well.
“Save” Locations 25 Get in the habit of saving your work often to ensure up-to-date changes are in effect

Worth Noting 27 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 . As site administrator, you can build your own comments in your own library. I can help you if you want to do your own.
