2 weeks back in my Practical Ed Tech Newsletter I described six things to try when a website or web app isnt working as you expected it to. Based on click-through, that was my most popular newsletter of the year!

These are the 6 things to try:

1. Is it you or is it the site? A simple way to discover out is to check out downforeveryoneorjustme.com then go into the URL of the website youre trying to utilize. If youre familiar with the Windows command terminal you can also attempt pinging the address of the site youre attempting to utilize. Heres a short video about both of those things.

This isnt as common as it utilized to be, but in some circumstances of a website not working correctly the cause can be traced to using an outdated variation of a web internet browser. If youre utilizing an older variation of a web browser, not just will some sites not work correctly, you are likewise opening yourself up to more prospective security threats.

3. Do you have cookies made it possible for? Numerous websites require cookies in order to use you the very best possible experience.

Are you utilizing a pop-up blocker? It is not uncommon for a site to use a pop-up window for account log-ins.

5. Have you enabled electronic camera and or microphone access? If youre attempting to use a web-based video or audio editing tool, youll need to make certain your electronic camera and microphone are accessible.

If none of the steps above have fixed the issue, rebooting your computer simply may be the thing that fixes your issue. You might be surprised how frequently that works.
