2 weeks earlier in my Practical Ed Tech Newsletter I laid out six things to attempt when a site or web app isnt working as you anticipated it to. Based on click-through, that was my most popular newsletter of the year!

These are the six things to attempt:

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

2. Is your web browser upgraded? This isnt as typical as it utilized to be, but in some circumstances of a website not working correctly the cause can be traced to using an obsoleted version of a web browser. If youre utilizing an older version of a web browser, not only will some sites not work correctly, you are also opening yourself approximately more possible security threats.

3. Do you have cookies enabled? Numerous sites require cookies in order to use you the very best possible experience.

4. Are you using a pop-up blocker? It is not uncommon for a website to utilize a pop-up window for account log-ins. If the pop-up is blocked, you will not be able to log-in.

5. Have you enabled cam and or microphone access? Youll need to make sure your camera and microphone are available if youre trying to use a web-based video or audio modifying tool.

If none of the actions above have actually fixed the problem, restarting your computer just might be the thing that repairs your issue. You may be surprised how frequently that works.
