Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Microsoft tools even when I am not connected to the Internet?
Yes. An Internet connection is only necessary the first time you use your Microsoft tools. Once you have signed in using your KI email account, these tools can be used offline.
I don’t want my students to see when I receive email while connected to the projector or SmartBoard.
If you only use Outlook in a web browser such as Chrome or Edge, you will not receive any notifications and can easily log out of your email account. If you use the Outlook software installed on your computer, you can turn your notifications OFF. Click here to see how.
Microsot won’t let me log in using my @kativik.qc.ca and password.
KI provided you with both an email (name.lastname@kativik.qc.ca) and a username (namel@kativik.qc.ca). To log in a Microsoft tool, you must use your username and password, and not your email address.
How to change the display language of my Microsoft software?
Only IT can change the display language of your Microsoft software. If you need to need it to be changed, create a support ticket.
How should I carry files from one computer to another?
We suggest using a USB drive. You can also use a cloud (online storage) service such as the OneDrive attached to your KI email account, but it relies on a stable Internet connection.

Digital Citizenship
Welcome to the Digital Citizenship page on our school board website. Here, we emphasize the importance of digital citizenship and provide resources and guidelines to foster responsible and ethical online behavior among students. Our approach aligns with the Quebec digital competencies, ensuring that students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Explore the key components of digital citizenship below:
What is the Digital Action Plan?
The Digital Action Plan Framework, developed by the Quebec Government, serves as a comprehensive guide to support educational institutions in integrating digital technologies effectively and purposefully into their practices. It provides a strategic roadmap for schools and school boards, outlining key areas of focus, goals, and actions necessary to promote digital literacy, enhance learning outcomes, and prepare students for success in a digital society. The framework aligns with the Quebec Digital Competency Framework, ensuring that students develop the essential digital skills and competencies required in the 21st century.
The Digital Action Plan Framework emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and ongoing professional development as key drivers for successful implementation. It recognizes that technology alone is not the solution, but rather, a tool to support pedagogical approaches and enhance educational experiences. The framework encourages educational institutions to leverage the power of digital technologies to create inclusive, engaging, and personalized learning environments that foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital citizenship.
