My Buddies
If your school has enabled the 'Ghosting' feature in Staff Kiosk, it means that potentially you can 'Ghost' in and operate another teacher's Staff Kiosk or another teacher can ghost in and operate your Staff Kiosk. The level of functionality that is available to someone 'Ghosted' in as you, is determined by your system administrator.
You use this program to grant 'Buddy' access to teachers who are not able to ghost in and operate your Staff Kiosk (by virtue of them being granted access by your school).
An example of granting 'Buddy' access would be to a senior teacher who is mentoring you.
People who may have automatically been granted 'Ghosting' access by your school could include The Principal, Senior Executive, and Head of your Department etc.
Click the 'Maintain Buddies' button to display the 'Maintain My Buddies' pop-up screen for adding and removing Buddy teachers.
For more information on 'Ghosting', refer to Staff Kiosk Toolbar.
Communication Log
All communications generated from Staff Kiosk are recorded in a Communication Log.
This is a teacher-centric Communication Log that will display all communication sent and received by a teacher. Students also have a Communication Log in Staff Kiosk program Students > Student Profile.
The Communication Log allows you to track and monitor the details of communications including who it has been sent to and in some cases whether the communication has been viewed by the recipients.
There are potentially 3 different types of communication displayed in this screen:
Emails (generated from various programs in Staff Kiosk).
