The COWS are out!

The COWs are now all out and ready to go. Please use the Computer Sign Out schedule in FileMaker to reserve.

They are being stored in these locations:

• Red - 4F - E119
• Green - 6M - H128
• Yellow - 7L - E223
• Blue - 5C - E250 

A reminder of some guidelines when using the COWs:

• Whenever possible, teachers should be moving carts - not students.
• Remember to plug in the wireless router to power and ethernet when you use the cart. You will usually have to unplug one of the desktop computers to do this.
• Monitor students putting away the laptops ensuring they are put away on the correct shelf and plugged in. Hint - have the connection to the power supply facing toward the front of the computer when you put it away - it's less likely to get banged out when they are put away.
• Always do a final check once all laptops are put away - are they all charging? Check for the charging light visible on each shelf. This is important to make sure the laptops are ready for the next class. This is a great role for a student.
• Please return the COW to the home location when finished or soon thereafter. This avoids teachers interrupting all classes in the area to track down the COW when they have it reserved.

As always, if you need any help with this, please let me and/or Lara know.
