The DoT Comm

Managing passwords today is complicated. Security experts recommend different passwords for each system. For all those passwords a password manager becomes an essential tool. Chrome and Safari include simple managers, but if you use multiple browsers or need something more robust, a standalone application is preferable.

Join us on May 9 for the 2nd Annual Digital Learning Faire, where the DoT and other departments will exhibit student-centered digital learning. The event will be held at KQED on Thursday, May 9, 2019, from 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM.

Space is limited! RSVP by April 18 if you will join us.
