Students are to properly handle the technology. If they are unaware of this procedure please make sure to review it with them.

EVERY MORNING: 1. Verify the # of computers assigned to YOUR cart. CHECK that you have all your camcorders, cameras, projectors, pens, remotes, tripods, and cables.

2. Be sure the computers are plugged into the power adapters in the cart whenever you leave the room or they are not in use (especially at the end of the day).

3. DO NOT remove the power supplies from the carts.

AT THE END OF EVERY DAY: 1. Verify the # of computers assigned to YOUR cart. CHECK that you have all your camcorders, cameras, projectors, pens, remotes, tripods, and cables.

2. Shut the cart and spin the lock to be sure it’s locked.

3. Shut the Promethean Board and the Document Camera OFF.

4. LOCK THE CLASSROOM DOOR- this is important because you’re responsible for the equipment. If the door won’t lock, tell the principal immediately.

5. Lock camcorders and cameras up at the end of the day either in the computer cart or in a hallway locker.

If there is a problem with the computer or other equipment: Call the office; they will dispatch a Tech Facilitator.
