QuickStart Guides (QSGs) are how-to technology guides written for a specific technology need. They are written from the perspective of teaching teachers and support staff how to use technology to infuse it into their curriculum or to teach a specific skill to enhance district operations or communication. QuickStart Guides use pictures and as little text as possible to explain an idea. These guides are NOT intended to teach every aspect of an application.
