Classroom

Each school site must have in place established procedures to be followed for documentation of scheduling, handling, maintaining, and reporting misuse or necessary repair of mobile laptop carts. Online calendar access for scheduling and documentation is recommended.
 * Managing multiple computers**

Any instruction that requires access to computers, peripherals, and/or network servers need to consider the following:
 * Students using the internet must have an up to date signed **AUP** (acceptable use policy) on file or be supervised by an adult.
 * **Internet Safety**, such as the iSafe curriculum and other resources may be provided by building technology leader or designated teacher(s), such as the lab manager or library media specialist and should be reinforced in classroom.
 * All **printing** should be purposeful and monitored by staff.
 * All login passwords should be kept secure.


 * Do not connect computers through "hubs".** Hubs to connect multiple computers for internet connection are considered old architecture and will slow down the speed of the LAN/WAN.
 * Contact Technology Department for switch replacement if multiple computers need network access.

For technical repair, maintenance and/or replacement, submit an online technology [|repair/request order]. or contact the technology department and/or Richard.Davis@cape.k12.de.us 302-644-7920 office.

For instructional technology support for student projects, learning activities, unit planning, and/or setting up tech talks and/or cyber cafe's for professional development contact: Lori.Roe@cape.k12.de.us 302-645-1439 office

**__ Computer Hookup __** Remember, each summer your rooms are cleaned which may result in removal of your computers from your room or lab. There may be up to 6 cords involved with hooking up your computer (everyone will not necessarily have all 6): a. A power cord which goes to the electrical outlet on the wall b. A keyboard cord (usually USB, but may also have 6 pins and plastic guide in the center called a PS2 end. It is usually purple in color and goes to a purple port on the computer). Please plug into the appropriate port. Do not force the PS2 cord, it only fits one way…rotate it until it drops into place. c. A mouse cord (usually USB, but may also have 6 pins and plastic guide in the center called a PS2 end. It is usually green in color and goes to a green port on the computer). Please plug into the appropriate port. Do not force the PS2 cord, it only fits one way…rotate it until it drops into place. d. For external monitors, there will be a cord coming from the back of the monitor which will plug into your desktop, laptop, or docking station. e. For local printers, there will be a USB cord that will plug into one of the USB ports on your computer or your docking station. f. For desktops, docking stations, or non-wireless devices, there will be a CAT5 or CAT6 cable (usually blue, yellow, gray, red or beige in color) which has an end similar to a phone cord you would plug in at home, only slightly bigger. This needs plugged into the wall outlet for internet access. Most rooms have at least one plate for a phone to be plugged in (this has a small piece of plastic, usually reddish pink in color, above the jack) and for a computer to be plugged in (this has a small piece of blue plastic above the jack). Playful children have been known to switch these pieces of plastic, so try in both before calling. Of course, if you already have a phone plugged into the pinkish red one in your room and have a dial tone, then the other jack is for computer.
