# What are the network requirements for PCS Edventures programs?

## Instructions for IT / Network Admins to ensure our digital resources work correctly. What to do if you can't access your digital resources or videos.

Some PCS Edventures programs include digital resources, such as videos and apps. However, some digital resources may be optional, and some programs are entirely tech-free. **See your print materials (usually the Prep section of the Instructor Guide or Educator Guide) for all of the digital resources you'll need.**

### Common Troubleshooting Steps:

If you're having trouble accessing the videos or digital resources included in your program, try these steps:

1. Educators, **contact your IT or Network Admin** to ensure that our domains are not being blocked. See the instructions below for more details.
2. **Clear your browser cache.** Visit your browser's settings and search for "cache." Make sure to clear your website cookies and cached data for *all time*.
3. **Turn off browser plugins** that may be interfering, such as ad blockers.
4. **Try accessing on a different network**, such as at home. This is helpful information for your IT admin or our support team.

 

### Educators, contact your IT or Network Admin:

We recommend talking to your IT or Network Admin before your program starts to make sure that any tech elements of your program are up and running before your students come in.

Send your Admin a link to this page and tell them which programs you are implementing so that they can easily approve the required tools.
