Desktop Shortcuts and Website Links

Q:  How do I make a desktop shortcut for my school in Destiny?

A: There is a grey book icon to the right of every school's name on your districts's Destiny webpage.  Here is what you do  

1. Click on the icon and the Add a Favorite window will open. 
2. Click on Add.  This will put a bookmark in your favorites. 
3. In the upper right-hand corner of your Internet browser, click on the middle button to shrink it.
4. Then click on Favorites on the browser toolbar. 
5. Find Destiny with your school name in the list of Favorites.
6. Click on it, hold down your mouse button, and drag it to your desktop.  You should now have a desktop shortcut to your school in Destiny.*

*If you dragged it to your desktop but it would not stay, your computer may be configured to disallow changes.  Call your school tech department for assistance. 

Q:  What information does my website developer need to put a Destiny link on our school's webpage?

A:  Follow the steps 1-6 above. 

After the shortcut is added to your desktop, right click on it. 

Choose Properties from the list.

Click on the different tabs in this window until you see the URL. 

When you see it, copy the entire string of information by highlighting it and using ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste it into an email to that person.
