Mario Online Games
Lora Ceasor
Hi guys, hoping someone could maybe help me sort out an issue on my Switch with Mario Kart please?
I'm using a switch lite and my friend a switch console. We can play Minecraft together online with no issues, but with Mario Kart as soon as I click join, I get stuck on the 'searching for players' screen then says can't connect to other console.
Both of our Internet signals are fine and as I say work on Minecraft fine.
We did manage to connect once and have a few races but since then no joy at all
Hi, yes we both have a nintendo online account. We are both showing as 'online' in Mario Kart, me or my friend create a room and wait for the other to join. All it says is searching for players, then can't connect to other console
@SmashBall35 Thank you. My friend is using wireless broadband Internet through a router, I'm using my EE mobile hotspot. I can use this to stream Netflix, watch live TV etc and download large files pretty quickly on my Mac with no issues at all. Obviously if this is the cause I'll arrange to have broadband installed but as I say I've used my mobile data for everything for over a year with no problems.
(I do make sure nothing else is using/connected to my hotspot whilst using the switch)
If you would like the convenience of paying for your child's school fees, field trips, PE uniforms,etc. using your debit or credit card online, using a web browser from any location, 24 hours a day, click here to pay online. Please note that a 3.75% fee will be added to the purchase price of a school purchase as a site service fee. District items such as the Extracurricular Activity Fee are not charged the fee. This fee is not collected by MCPS, but is a processing fee of the company hosting the site.
Students are expected to return all textbooks, equipment, and uniforms and pay for all class fees and library fines before the end of each semester/sports season. The student must return these items to the teacher/coach who issued them as only that person can clear the student prior to issuing an obligation. Students who owe money for lost or damaged texts, materials, library books, etc. will be charged the replacement or damage cost as appropriate. This includes lost locks, replacement agenda books, loaned lunch money, etc. If a student owes a financial obligation to the school s/he will not be permitted to participate in events or activities that charge admission or a fee including dances, field trips, basketball games, etc. until the obligation is paid. (This includes end-of-year activities such as promotion ceremony tickets and 8th grade trips.) Fourth marking period report cards will be held until obligations have been cleared for the year. Families with economic hardship should contact the counselor or administrator.
If items are not returned or paid for at the appropriate time, teachers and coaches issue obligations which are processed in the Finance Office. Once the obligation has been issued to the student, the outstanding items should be returned or payment made directly to the Finance Office where the obligation can be canceled.
It is extremely important that students follow the above procedures. Items returned to any other location will not be processed and the student will not be credited with the return or payment. At that point, it will be necessary for the student to find the book with the correct number in the department storage room or find the teacher to verify that the book was returned.
All outstanding obligations must be paid in order for students to participate in extracurricular activities. Additionally, 8th graders with outstanding obligations will not be permitted to participate in end of year activities including the end of year trip and receiving promotion tickets.
As of January, 2013 all MCPS schools are to charge a $25.00 returned check fee. The fee is to cover charges to MCPS by our bank as well as the time for collection and handling of the replacement check. If a check is returned, a letter will be sent by mail to the parent/guardian with the initial amount of the check and the total now due to the school. The student will receive an obligation for this amount and all obligation rules will be in effect.

I have been fortunate to have experimented with technology to deliver online piano lessons over the past decade, but due to my teaching responsibilities at Stephen F. Austin State University, I haven't had the time to devote to developing a true online piano curriculum. However, I have had the pleasure to write articles and give presentations at various music teacher conferences to demonstrate what is possible with the technology, and hopefully what I share can inspire them to develop their own online piano lesson materials.
With close to 120 online videos, the Hoffman Academy offers a progressive series of lessons to address the 21st-century piano student to view and consume at his or her own pace and leisure for free. Let me repeat that: all of the piano lesson videos on his website are available to view for FREE. In fact, I believe all of the videos are hosted on the Hoffman Academy YouTube channel which makes it easily viewed on computers, mobile devices, or even internet-connected televisions. Many might be skeptical on how good can these lessons be if there isn't even a charge for it. However, the website has links to donate to the Hoffman Academy. Hoffman is able sustain this business model by tying the videos into his method materials which are sold on his website as online downloads of PDF pages and MP3 albums. Yet, students will still find plenty of educational value in the Hoffman Academy videos even without purchasing the method materials.
Regardless of how effective the video lessons are, I think it's important for the parents to stay active in their children's music education and not have unrealistic expectations of the videos doing all the work for them. Parents can easily learn along because the Hoffman Academy videos have clear lesson objectives listed down with the titles and "what you'll learn". Most video lessons are limited to about 10-minutes in length which is fine to address short attention spans of online learners. Although some of the more advanced lessons can go close to a half-hour long. In my own experience, I've found even shorter 4-5 minute videos to be even more effective in keeping students engaged.
Some teachers and parents may be dismissive on the effectiveness of the online lesson experience. However, it only seems natural to me for something like the Hoffman Academy videos to shake things up. Joseph Hoffman has obviously put a lot of time and effort into this project, and he has the educational background and experience to be taken seriously. In addition to playing music on traditional notation, Hoffman also includes lessons on singing and ear training which are an essential part for developing the whole musician. Check out his "Copy Cat Ear Game" below in Piano Lesson 106:
Hoffman's overhead camera view makes the video lesson content engaging and easy for students to play along or imitate with what was demonstrated. Other lessons also include clear views of musical notation to encourage students to develop musical literacy instead of just relying on imitation by ear and rote.
Another innovative feature of the Hoffman Academy website is the virtual "recital hall". Traditionally piano teachers get students to play on stage in recitals and festivals to give them a tangible and meaningful goal for their practice. Since this is an online environment, the Hoffman Academy has a section of their website devoted to feature submitted video performances by students who take the online lessons. Hoffman reviews the videos and chooses the ones to be featured on the website based on the students' accuracy, fluency, and posture. This is a very 21st century way of making students feel they've made a significant accomplishment when their video is posted for a large community of learners to watch as they please.
In summary, the Hoffman Academy has probably one of the most comprehensive collection of video lessons for beginner piano students. They move in such a progressive and logical manner that it brings true legitimacy to online piano lessons that are often dismissed as not being as good as "real" traditional piano lessons. Hoffman takes full advantage of the medium to present easy-to-follow lessons that will draw parents into making music education a significant part of their child's upbringing. The biggest disadvantage of the Hoffman Academy video lessons is the lack of real-time interactivity with the teacher where the student can get immediate feedback on whether they are playing correctly or not. However, this can be filled in with engaged parents who should monitor and oversee their children's progress at the piano to fill this void (Parents should play this active role in traditional lessons too!). I also have a feeling that Joseph Hoffman will continue to develop the academy's website to address some of these shortcomings with possibly web apps or even computer and mobile device applications that can give the lessons an even greater level of interactivity for the students. We see it in other online courses. So why not in online piano lessons as well?
Hi, I'm trying to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch online, I bought this so I could play my daughter as she lives away from me. When I try to play online it can't connect to other consoles due to a NAT issue, I usually get NAT D or C, however I do very occasionally manage to play an online game. I'm using a Tplink router TL-MR6400 with a mobile data sim card, it seems to work more often during the day or early morning but only sometimes (very rarely) it seems impossible to play in the evening, I don't know if this is relevant or not. Am I able to get a open NAT or change settings on my router, I've tried port forwarding, DMZ but to no avail. Hopefully someon can help. Thanks and kind regards Colin
