Pearson Envision Math Videos Not Working 10/24

If the Pearson Envision videos aren't playing for teachers, here are my suggestions for correcting this situation.

Please read all these items before making the changes.
Note that the instructions for each suggestion is listed below the steps.
And if you need help doing this, please contact Tom, Shane, Mike or Emily.

1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is at least version 9 or higher.*
2. Set Internet Explorer as your default browser.**
3. Create a Shortcut for Pearson Envision (Pearson Realize Sign-In Page)***
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: 
• There are several applications that REQUIRE the use of Chrome to work successfully and/or most efficiently (Waterford, Think Through Math, etc.)
• As a result, you will need to set shortcuts on the desktop for these programs that automatically open in Chrome (since Internet Explorer is the default browser)****
