Welcome to the WF Tech Page.

In case you do not know me, my name is Terry Shelton, and I am the Computer Network Specialist for the West Frankfort School District in West Frankfort, Illinois.  I work alongside Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Fry and Mrs. Price in the West Frankfort schools to keep the computers and computer network up and running.  This Wiki is a work in progress since I am still learning about Wikis and how to effectively use them.

Have a computer question?  Maybe I can help.

• Under the Add a Comment section, I am inviting people to post their questions, and I and my colleagues will give our answers as best as we are able.
• This Wiki is not for anonymous blogging.  It is my intention for this page to be a place where people from our community, parents, teachers, even students can post legitimate questions about computers and other related technology.  Your comment does not even have to be a question; if you have some really good information about new products, your own personal experiences in managing your own computer, please post it for the rest of us to read.
• Before you can Add a Comment, you must request access to this Wiki.  This is done by clicking Request Access in the upper right corner of the Wiki page and following the directions there.  Once I have received your request, I will grant you access to post questions or comments.  Be advised that what you post will be viewable by anyone reading this page.

Software Updates

• Many people ask me about Software Updates from various software manufacturers.  In my experience, I believe it is safe to install updates from Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, Java and Apple.  Generally speaking, these companies update their software on a regular basis, and it is a good idea to keep your software up to date with the latest versions.
