Can you describe the difference between COPYRIGHT and FAIR USE LAWS? Watch this quick 5 minute video to get the gist of it, and you know what? You can use this with your students, too! In a world with access to more digital content than you even want to think about, let's drop some facts and truths to our students about responsible (and legal) use of material created by others, and model that ourselves!

And please, don't forget the ones on the bottom shelf that aren't assigned to students right now. All devices matter!
Student Chromebooks
- Have students SIGN OUT
- Choose SHUT DOWN in the bottom left
- Do this at least once a month, if not more.
*** WALK OVER TO YOUR CART AND DO THIS TO ANY CHROMEBOOKS THAT AREN'T USED REGULARLY BY STUDENTS***
Chromebooks and CAASPP
Stay alert and make sure you see GREEN for practice testing. (That will make sense when you are in the secure browser.)
Student iPads
- Update the iOS (go into Settings, Software Update--- it may take 10-15 minutes, and it may need more than one update)
- Shut down the iPad and restart it (hold down the top button on the top until the slider comes on the screen)
- Shut them down at least once a month. It is also a good solution when iPad isn't working right. Sometimes, it just needs a restart
*** WALK OVER TO YOUR CART AND DO THIS TO ANY IPADS THAT AREN'T USED REGULARLY BY STUDENTS ***
CAASPP and iPads
IPADS--- remember to use the AirSecure app. Make sure it is updated by opening self service and tapping REINSTALL on the app tile. This is how you can update any app.
Did you catch that? Update the AirSecure app by going into Self Service? And tapping REinstall? Get that taken care of now. You don't want to be that person who waits until the day of testing to update the app.
Do you wish you could see what's happening on student CHROMEBOOKS?
Be part of the team to kick the tires on a few of the options
---> CLICK HERE <--- to complete a form and I will get you more information. Tell a friend! Let me know right away! This is going to be fun!
Here's a new bonus: if you want to learn how to install the toner yourself, just add it to your ticket like this: "Please replace my printer toner. New toner is in my classroom. Please teach me how to do this while you are here." Because this is something you can totally do.
And here's a side note: if you move classrooms at the end of the school year, printers will NOT be changing rooms with you. They are specifically named for the room so toner gets delivered to the right place. We don't want to mess with that, do we?
